Grand Western Canal | Tiverton | Horse Drawn Barge and walk

The Grand Western Canal in Tiverton, Devon, is the location of this week's video. I took a walk along the canal from the basin in Tiverton. I was hoping to come across the horse drawn barge on one of its scheduled voyages. I met it as I walked and it was a truly special experience which I hope will come across in this video. The two minutes silence where all that was audible was the swishing water and the clippety clop of the horses hooves was truly magical. I have included some of it in the video. I hope the specialness of the silence comes over in the video. The bargeman chatted to me and told me lots of interesting information as I walked along the tow path and I have tried to relay some of that here in this video to you. It is a living heritage attraction meaning that you get to actually experience the heritage how it would have been, rather than learning about dead heritage. The Grand Western Canal is also a country park and local nature reserve. It is teaming with wildlife. I can certainly recommend this trip to you if you are looking for a couple of hours of calm, floating along through beautiful countryside with onboard refreshments and very interesting commentary. Here is a link to the Tiverton Canal Co website where you can find lots more interesting history about the canal aswell as timetables and other helpful information if you wish to plan a trip on the 75 seater barge.
