A holiday that blends the pleasures of the English countryside with the excitement and adventures of boating. Boating offers a real change from every day routine and brings one in touch with a new and unsuspected England - remote from main roads and railway s, free from crowded motor coaches and noisy holiday makers, pleasant, peaceful and unspoilt.
Canals are unique in many ways.
Since their construction in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries they have mellowed and matured into a heritage of beauty, framed by every bridge and changing at every bend. Locks , as shown in the above photograph, punctuate the different levels of waterways, each with its own particular charm. The Locks are simple to operate and provide pleasant breaks in the cruise with some gentle excercise. No previous boating experience is necessary and you will be surprised just how easy it is to become a competant skipper of a narrow canal boat. Experience a different side that you thought had been lost forever.
