The Kennet Horse Boat Company offers peaceful horse-drawn barge trips along the Kennet & Avon Canal from Kintbury, giving you a slow, nostalgic way to experience the countryside. Trips are often described as calm, scenic and ideal for families, with friendly, knowledgeable staff and beautiful Shire horses leading the way. You can either join a scheduled public cruise or hire a self-drive narrowboat for the day, and many guests say it’s a memorable, relaxing outing that feels a world away from everyday life.
