British Heritage Experience

THE STORY BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE

I grew up on the royal estate, riding alongside my father and grandfather in Windsor Great Park. As the daughter of a Windsor coachman and custodian of the last remaining Hackney Carriage licence from the Victorian era still in service, I’ve inherited more than tradition, I’ve inherited the stories, knowledge and a deep care for your Windsor experience.

"We could have listened to your stories for hours."

Today, I bring that legacy forward by curating meaningful experiences for guests from around the world, with warm hospitality, thoughtful planning, and a commitment to heritage done well.

Whether you’re visiting Windsor for the first time, planning a milestone event, or arranging something truly special for clients or loved ones, my team and I would be honoured to help you create a day that becomes part of your own story.

We look forward to welcoming you,
Rebecca Seear, Custodian & 5th Generation Licensee

The Long Walk is starting to feel like summer again. The trees are full, the evenings are lighter, and everything seems to slow down. A Victorian Hackney carriage license proudly passed down coachman to coachman, generation to generation, since 1849 and a view that never fails to delight.

Over the years, our guests have stayed in some truly lovely hotels when visiting Windsor from London.

I’ve gathered their favourites into a quick guide, elegant, well-located, and perfect for a countryside escape to Windsor. Curated by Windsor Carriages.

While Windsor’s own hotels are all tip-top in our view, for longer family stays we also recommend private residences that boast royal history like no other, The Windsor Tapestries being a favourite. @casabygrace

A Coachman’s Legacy
Happy birthday to my late father, John Seear.

A commercial coachman in Windsor for over 50 years, his dedication to working horses and traditional carriage driving shaped not just his life, but mine too. From British Driving Society displays to charity drives like London to Cornwall, awards for course building for horse trials and driving events, carriages to Royal Ascot, competing at Royal Windsor horse show and even the odd royal mews appearance, his turnout was always immaculate, and his standards were high.

Like many little girls, I adored my father. He was a somewhat challenging parent, I always felt he preferred his horses to me, but he was an accomplished horseman who took the time to teach me properly. Those lessons, learned beside him on the carriage, are the foundation of the work I do today.

Some of these photos show me at just two years old, perched beside him on the box seat. Others driving without him by my side with remains one the hardest accomplishments of my life.

Thirteen years ago, I was living a comfortable corporate life in California. One summer changed everything and ten years later, I’m still grateful for that last summer driving beside him, the path I chose and the legacy I now carry forward and am grateful and privileged to share with you, guests, new coachman and their families.

This slideshow is a tribute to him.

When tradition, setting, and service come together just right. Authentic, purposeful, and proudly upholding a tradition that spans centuries.

A quintessential British gathering, with Windsor Castle as the backdrop, carriages delivering lunch beneath ancient oak trees, and our horses enjoying the outing as much as our guests.

Each visit is different, but the feeling remains the same:
Something meaningful, timeless, and quietly unforgettable.

Thank you to our guests for entrusting us with your day, it’s a privilege to bring these moments to life.

Hello to all our new followers…
We thought we’d take a quiet moment to share a little of who we are.

At Windsor Carriages, heritage is not something we recreate, it is something we live.
Our coachman’s families have carried the traditions of commercial carriage driving across the centuries, with skills, stories and a way of life passed gently from rein to rein.
Among us are the two Rebeccas — yes, there are two of us — who grew up side by side on the Windsor carriages.
One of us is the daughter of the previous coachman, who drove carriages in Windsor for over 50 years.
Both of us were part of the last generation to be raised among the carriages, the horses and the quiet, steady rhythms of a way of life that shaped the Windsor we know today.
We spent our childhoods as grooms, learning the old ways without even realising it, carrying stories and traditions in our pockets like treasures.

Today, we are proud to hold the reins of the past as we guide the next chapter with new coachman with their own stories and we would be honoured to bring you along for the ride. Please go follow @thecoachmansdaughters as they take their first steps into their family traditions.

Thank you for being here. We can’t wait to share more of our world with you.

Quintessentially British 🇬🇧 the guard change is a tradition not to miss when visiting Windsor. #WindsorCastle #ChangingTheGuard #BritishTradition #OnlyInBritain #visitwindsor

Happy St George’s Day. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 If you’ve visited Windsor, you’ve likely stood before St George’s Chapel, a landmark of English history and tradition for over 500 years and a must see on any visit.

Our full-day visits are thoughtfully crafted to flow gently from one experience to the next. You might visit Windsor Castle, explore the independent shops, enjoy a long lunch if celebrating, and take a stroll through the estate gardens, with a horse-drawn carriage to connect each chapter. Each experience is privately hosted by your dedicated Windsor host, ensuring you see the very best our town has to share.

It’s not a packed itinerary, it’s a day made to feel personal and memorable.

We love to work with private guides and travel advisors who add their own special touches to your visit or onward journey, creating something truly seamless and deeply personal. If you're planning on behalf of a guest, we warmly welcome enquiries and look forward to collaborating with you.

Happy Mother’s Day, (in the UK!) Hope you’re celebrating yourself, whether you mother a child, a horse, a dog, or anyone else that needs love. 💕

A little behind-the-scenes from a surreal day…

Earlier this month, I was invited to Parliament, not something I ever imagined saying out loud. It was an honour to share the story of Windsor Carriages, the UK’s last remaining original Hackney Carriage operation and the tradition we’re working so hard to preserve.

This isn’t our usual content, but I thought I’d bring you along for the journey. Thank you for being here, your follows, likes, and visits all help keep this living heritage alive.

“I can’t believe we get to do this,” a guest shared with us last week, as they took in the last views of Windsor from their carriage.

Us too.

It’s a privilege and a promise to continue this tradition.

Windsor is the last place in the UK where an original Hackney Carriage license, held continuously since the Victorian era, still operates.

Unlike every other license, ours was never transferred to a motor car during the modernisation of transport. It remains a rare and remarkable piece of living heritage.

Once, we lined up at the Windsor Carriage Rank, (last pic) waiting for walk-up fares. That rank closed more than two decades ago. You can see in the photo the first licensed cars mixed in with the original licensed carriages. Today, we don’t wait…we curate.

Horse welfare at its finest, our beloved family owned horses no longer wait for fares. They help us curate your extraordinary Windsor visit and event.

And the stories remain.

For 176 years, the reins have passed from coachman to coachman, each one adding their chapter to a story that continues with every guest we welcome. And in the words of our guests, it’s the stories they remember most.

It’s not just a ride. It’s living heritage. We carry it forward every day and you’re warmly invited to be part of the next chapter.

Happy World Poetry Day. A good day to share one of our favourite poems – The Horse by Ronald Duncan, written in 1954.

Horses have carried people, stories, and traditions for centuries, there is so much we owe to them. Like if you agree!

THE HORSE

Where in this wide world can
man find nobility without pride,
friendship without envy or beauty
without vanity? Here, where
grace is laced with muscle, and
strength by gentleness confined.

He serves without servility; he has
fought without enmity. There is
nothing so powerful, nothing less
violent, there is nothing so quick,
nothing more patient.

England’s past has been borne on
his back. All our history is his
industry; we are his heirs; he
our inheritance. 🩷

Keeping working horses in Windsor and keeping the heritage alive.

Growing up on the carriages with my dad and our own family horses, this means everything.

I will never tire of sharing and creating content of happy, well-cared-for working horses, and I know so many of you love seeing them too. Your support—every comment, share, and kind word—means the world. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Kudos to our incredible coachmen for their dedication, skill, love and care—every single day.

While St. Patrick’s Day might call for a pint of the black stuff, faithful @windsor_joey prefers his apples over ales—at least while he’s on duty! 🍏🐴 But on a well-earned day off? Let’s just say he wouldn’t turn down a sip of Guinness—because horses love it! 🍺☘️

📍 Pictured at @clairmonts_windsor, one of the many stops in town where our carriages still pull up, just as coachmen have done for centuries—only now, it’s a flat white instead of a flagon of ale! ☕🚖

No shamrocks or Guinness for us today, but plenty of tradition, good company, and a touch of Irish luck! 🍀🐴

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at Windsor Carriages! ✨

Magical connections on the carriage today! ✨

A wonderful family from Georgia and Florida joined us for a full-day experience, and by the end, we discovered we are very nearly family—6 degrees of separation at its finest!

From sharing stories to exploring this beautiful estate together, it was a day filled with special moments. They may even return for the Royal Flower Show next year, and I can’t wait to welcome them back.

This is what makes Windsor Carriages so special—authentic connections, shared experiences, and the magic of Windsor.

Wishing His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh a very Happy Birthday! 🎉 🎂
#DukeOfEdinburgh #RoyalBirthday #WindsorCastle #princeedward

This week I was invited to the Houses of Parliament to celebrate small UK businesses, meeting Windsor MP Jack Rankin and Emily Darlington MP.

My visit made me think of my great-grandmother, Anna Munro, who also set out for parliament. Over a century ago, she walked 400 miles from Edinburgh to London, campaigning for the rights of women in a time we were still deemed a man’s property.

Today on International Women’s Day, we remember the women who came before us, without whom I wouldn’t have the freedom to run my own business, let alone travel to London on my own.

My middle name is Munro, passed down by my mother to ensure her grandmother’s story was never forgotten.

Here’s to the women who push forward, make change, and the stories that ensure we never forget—keeping us inspired for generations to come. Thank you @xero for a fantastic event!

Did you ever take a leap, thinking it was temporary, only to realize it was your true path?

🔹 Ten years ago, I took a ‘summer off’ to work with my dad, expecting to return to corporate life.
🔹 That summer became our last together on the carriage at Windsor Castle—and it changed everything.
🔹 A decade later, I’m still here, with a network of coachmen and carriages, continuing the tradition.

Funny how life works, isn’t it? What’s a moment that unexpectedly shaped your path?

Is Windsor Castle on your must-visit list this year? ✨ It never disappoints—one of my favorite places for a fascinating day out! Today’s visit was no exception.

Pro tip: We always recommend an official guide—fewer selfies, more beautifully curated photos, and stories you won’t find with the audio guides.
