Escape modern life on a horse drawn barge gliding gently through beautiful countryside! Board near Newbury for a peaceful journey viewed from water level, complete with traditional ploughman’s lunch served onboard.

The Experience 🛥️
Leave the rush behind as a strong horse pulls your traditional barge along tranquil canals, revealing countryside from this unique slow-paced perspective. Watch wildlife, hedgerows, and villages pass by at 2mph — the original mindfulness experience.
