A return boat trip from Llangollen Wharf, running every 30 minutes during the school holidays and roughly every hour at other times. This is the perfect activity whatever the weather, as our modern purpose-built boats have both inside and outside seating areas.
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.
Trips can be booked on line which is recommended at busy times. There are usually seats available of the day. Trips will be running approximately hourly during the week and half hourly at weekends and Bank Holidays
