Horse Drawn Barge Cruise with A Cream Tea

About this event

Sorry! this trip is now full but we are running a waiting list. Wednesday 29 July 2026 Horse-Drawn Barge Cruise with A Cream Tea First we head to Marlborough where much of its great natural beauty is environmentally protected and it offers the discerning visitor a unique blend of modern attractions and facilities. The High Street is one of the widest in the UK and lined on both sides with characterful old buildings housing an array of high quality shops and it will also be market day. After a couple of hours in Marlborough we leave to go and enjoy a delightful and gentle afternoon out on the Kennet & Avon Canal, perfect for those who prefer to take life at a slower, more enjoyable pace. Travel aboard a traditional horse-drawn barge operated by the Kennet Horse Boat Company, where a magnificent Shire horse pulls the boat smoothly and quietly along the canal — a wonderfully peaceful way to see the countryside. Once comfortably seated, simply relax and watch the scenery drift by while a traditional cream tea is served on board. There’s no rushing, no crowds, and no steep walking — just time to sit back, chat, and enjoy the moment.
