The crew are dressed as if from a bygone era. The large Heavy Horses (including Shires) at the ready and the Brind family proudly operating one of the few Horse-Drawn Passenger Barges in the UK!

50 Years of the Tiverton Horse Drawn Barge!
Tiverton Horse-Drawn Barges 50th Anniversary Celebrations. That's right! We've been running our attraction here in Devon for 50 years! How the time has flown!
As part of our celebratory year, we wanted to bring about some changes to next year's trip schedule. One idea we've had is to increase the number of 1½ hr trips including a 1½ hour on Saturday afternoon.
