The Main Event

Step aboard for a truly unforgettable Scottish adventure with the Blackness Castle Cruise with Cream Tea. Perfect as a gift for couples, friends, or anyone seeking a relaxed yet scenic experience, this 90 minute river cruise combines the charm of a traditional cream tea with the stunning natural and historic beauty of the Firth of Forth.

Glide gently along the waters while taking in unrivalled views of the Three Bridges, including the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Forth Bridge. Whether sitting back in the comfort of the observation lounge or feeling the fresh breeze on the outside deck, every angle offers a picture-perfect panorama of one of Scotland’s most celebrated coastlines.

During the cruise, enjoy a classic British cream tea, the perfect accompaniment to a leisurely river journey. Savour a selection of freshly prepared sandwiches on your way to Limekilns, before indulging in warm scones with clotted cream and jam. Each bite is complemented by a piping hot cup of tea, making it a delightfully indulgent way to experience one of Britain’s favourite pastimes.

The journey past Blackness Castle, a striking fortress steeped in history, adds a sense of drama and intrigue to the cruise. Its formidable stone walls rise majestically from the shore, offering a glimpse into Scotland’s rich heritage. As the boat glides past, take time to imagine life in centuries past while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the cruise.

The combination of scenic cruising and traditional refreshments ensures that every moment is both relaxing and engaging. With a choice of indoor seating or open-air views on the deck, participants can enjoy the experience however they prefer, from cosy comfort to invigorating fresh air. It’s an ideal way to spend a few hours soaking up the sights, enjoying the food, and savouring the experience.

The Blackness Castle Cruise with Cream Tea is a quintessentially British experience with a Scottish twist, offering something for history lovers, food enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed day by the water.
