How Hire Works

CrownDrive offers calm carriage rides around Windsor’s quieter streets and riverside paths. Each outing begins with a short briefing on seating, balance and simple hand signals used by the team.

Routes are chosen for light traffic and clear viewpoints. Timing is flexible within your window, with short pauses for photos by the castle approach or along the Long Walk when conditions allow.

Carriages are maintained daily and horses are matched to route length and party size. For private events, add a short stop for photos or arrange a transfer between nearby venues.

Guest Questions

When do rides run?

Daily windows with quieter periods in the morning and late afternoon. Exact timings vary with events and weather.

How many people can ride?

Most carriages suit small parties. Tell us your group size and we’ll advise a suitable carriage and route length.

What should we wear?

Dress for the weather and bring a light layer. Flat footwear is best for stepping in and out at photo stops.

Can we choose a route?

Yes—town loops, castle-view pauses and riverside circuits are available. Your driver will suggest options on the day.

Are the horses OK with crowds?

Teams work regularly in town settings. Routes are picked to stay calm, and we pause if an area feels too busy.
