Step aboard a traditional 1800s-style canal boat, beautifully decorated in the bright ‘roses and castles’ style, as majestic Clydesdale horses pull you gently through the peaceful countryside. Along the way, pass through charming locks and the picturesque village of Kintbury, soaking in the sights and sounds from this unique perspective. On board, enjoy sandwiches, tea, and cake, making for a leisurely and enjoyable experience.
