Carriage rides on Duke of Gloucester Street, Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia



Some visitors to Colonial Williamsburg join in the fun and wear full, time period appropriate costumes.  This group is getting ready for an open carriage ride around the historic district, which is about one mile long and one-half mile wide. The "coaches," as they are known have been providing rides since 1947.

  2. They are pretty, but I would think they would get a little hot in the summer.

  4. I'd paid big money to dress up with my wife and 3 daughters and ride around Williamsburg in a carriage! Fun! Charming!
