Horse-drawn boat trips on the Llangollen Canal

Highlight • Trail

A horse drawn boat trip is a unique experience, as you get to appreciate drifting through the majestic Welsh mountains whilst your equine guide casually progresses on land just a few feet further on.
Making our passage down the attractive feeder for the main canal, you can enjoy watching the fish as they lazily swim through the clear waters delivered fresh from the River Dee, whilst local wildlife goes about its daily routine overhead and in nearby greenery.
