A lovely quiet experience on a Serenity Sunday boat trip, which is for over 14s only. Everyone is asked to make sure there phone is off or on silent. Then after a short time along the canal they ask everyone to observe a ‘library hush’. It was bliss. Just the sounds of the water, the birds and the gentle steps of George the horse. A very special afternoon on the canal. If you enjoy peace, quiet, and nature, this is thoroughly recommended.

Kids loved it, walked part of the trail as got there early.

Kids loved being able to interact with the horse as well.
