Enjoy a scenic trip on the River Parrett
Langport’s community boat, The Duchess of Cocklemoor, operates regularly from Spring to Autumn.
- To cover running costs we suggest a minimum £60 donation for a maximum of 12 people, (to be paid to the skipper on the day)
- Smaller groups can be accommodated but running costs are unfortunately the same, (we recommend that you try and get as close as possible to the 12)
- The trip will take in the region of an hour. Longer trips by consultation.
- All bookings are provisional and will depend upon availability of skipper and crew
- Once you have completred the enquiry form, you will be contacted by Ian Macnab, our resident skipper, to confirm or offer alternative dates.
Enjoy a unique view of the Somerset Levels, an area rich in history and legend.
Look out for wildlife including otters and kingfishers, herons and the famous Somerset cranes, which can often be seen flying along the River Parrett.
