A Unique Windsor Experience
A Totally Unique Experience: Licensed Carriage Access to Windsor’s Long Walk
Our ability to offer horse-drawn carriage rides along the iconic Long Walk is a privilege granted through historic Victorian-era licensing, a distinction modern motor vehicles do not share. As the UK’s last remaining licensed carriage operator with continuous service since the Victorian period, we are committed to preserving this rare tradition while evolving to meet the expectations of today’s visitors. With a steadfast dedication to high standards of equine welfare, we ensure our horses not only thrive but truly love what they do.
A Postcard from the Past Pictured in the early 1990s, John Seear, Windsor coachman, drives Welsh Cob brothers Billy and Icarus with our Landau carriage—a scene that echoes generations of tradition. Today, his daughter, Rebecca Seear—The Coachman’s Daughter—continues this legacy as Director of Experience and custodian of Windsor Carriages, ensuring that this time-honoured craft endures for generations to come. 'Rebecca shares, 'I grew up with Billy and Iccy—our horses were family. Each one felt like a brother or sister. I know they would love our horses today, and in many ways, I still feel them with me on every journey we take.'
