Exeter University Club: Exeter Branch outing - The Grand Western Canal Cruise

Spend two and a half hours on a traditional horse-drawn barge, the last in the West Country, cruising at a leisurely pace through the beautiful Devon countryside, enjoying an informative commentary on the way. 

The journey takes us past well-kept gardens into the countryside, passing under bridges and past fields and woodland to a stopping point where we can often alight as the barge makes ready for the return journey.
