Horse Drawn Boat Trips
Visitors have been enjoying leisurely trips from Llangollen Wharf for over 100 years. We continue this tradition by offering wonderful horse drawn boat trips along the canal, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a rich variety of local flora and fauna.
We offer 45 minute Horse Drawn Boats trips on selected dates until mid March and then daily to the end of November.
We also offer 2 hour Horse Drawn Boat Trips to the Horseshoe Falls at weekends and on selected weekdays in the season.

The trip is just long enough to allow you to relax and unwind, making it perfect as a gentle start or soothing end to your day, or as a moment of peace in the middle of a hectic one. Experience for yourself the pace of life in "the olden days" whilst gazing out at one of the most beautiful canals in Britain, and admire the strength of our gorgeous horses as they easily pull your boat through the water.
