Cotswold Carriage Driving is a carriage driving school based near Tetbury in the Cotswolds, Wiltshire. The school teaches beginners, works with children and welcomes more experienced drivers. Lessons are grounded in natural horsemanship and traditional English coaching methods, giving pupils a grounding in both the practical skills of handling a carriage and the horsemanship behind the team.
Pupils can book carriage driving lessons, two-hour taster sessions and carriage driving experiences that put a newly learned skill straight onto local roads and tracks. Longer carriage driving holidays are offered for those who want to spend several days driving through the surrounding countryside. The school also provides natural horsemanship sessions aimed at improving handling on the ground, training for the British Driving Society road driving assessment, and horse drawn carriage hire for weddings. Gift vouchers are available for those who want to give a session as a present.
The Wiltshire setting gives access to quiet rural lanes and Cotswold lanes typical of the area, which is useful for drivers building up to road work. Pricing starts from GBP 60 for a passenger fare, with two-hour taster sessions priced from GBP 130 and lessons beginning at the same rate. The school is described as accessible, and beginners are explicitly taught from the start of their driving journey.
Cotswold Carriage Driving is accredited by the British Driving Society and uses traditional English coaching methods alongside its natural horsemanship approach. The school is based near Tetbury in Wiltshire, within the South West of England. Enquiries can be made through the school directly for lesson bookings, holiday dates, wedding carriage hire and BDS assessment preparation.
