In partnership with Blackwater Community Barge, we are running summer boat trips as part of The Argory 200 year celebrations. 

Nestled amidst the serene landscapes, the Blackwater River has been a lifeline since the 1800s, serving as a vital artery for transporting goods and people, blending business with leisure for the McGeough Bond Family.  

Celebrating 200 years of The Argory, we invite you to join us for a memorable boat trip along the tranquil waters of the Blackwater River. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking views and embark on a journey through time as we pay homage to the legacy of this historic waterway.
