Denbighshire - Llangollen Canal Horse Drawn Boat Trips

A charming, traditional way to explore the canal at a leisurely pace

A major tourist attraction and part of a World Heritage Site, Llangollen Wharf in the North Wales town of Llangollen presents beautiful scenery and the perfect day out for all the family.

Enjoy a horse drawn boat trip along the canal, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a rich variety of local flora and fauna.

A horse drawn boat trip is a unique experience, you get to drift through the water and appreciate the majestic Welsh mountains as your horse guides you through the water from land just a few feet further on.

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 effortlessly pull the boat through the water.

Some of the routes allow you to view the splendour of Thomas Telford’s Horseshoe Falls at the head of the Llangollen Canal, along with the newly restored Chain Bridge at Berwyn that reopened in 2015.
