Inland waterways holidays
have been popular for many years but despite that
popularity have never lost their delightful aura of
mystery and adventure! Canalboat hire (longboat hire)
opens up the quintessential experience of travelling by
boat along old water routes, once so busy with trade and
commerce and now so lost and peaceful. Nowhere else is
there the same sense of eager anticipation than on their
still waters, when with mooring lines slipped, your boat
chugs off into the morning mist at the start of another
canal holiday.
People
may call it different names, a boating holiday, inland
waterway holiday, canal holiday, river cruising holiday,
but they all mean the same,
discovery, adventure, fun and freedom!
DISCOVER our waterway heritage as
you cruise the historic Midlands canals, studying the
engineering feats that made them possible and learning
more about the lives of those who worked on them.
ADVENTURE into this waterway world
as you and your crew operate the locks and steer the boat
through long tunnels, over lofty embankments or through
deep creeper-hung cuttings!
Have
FUN, with lots to do and see both on
and off the water. Eat out at canalside pubs, walk the
towpaths, enjoy the abundant waterside wildlife. See our
beautiful countryside from a different perspective at a
leisurely pace. On a canal holiday even the chores can be
fun!
Enjoy the
FREEDOM to go where you please, at
a snail's pace, and like the snail, taking your
accommodation with you! To stop when and where you want
with no parking problems! To enjoy the peace and tranquility of the countryside with no traffic jams,
queues or crowds of people!
It's no wonder then that canal holidays appeal so much to
groups from schools, scouts, guides and many other young
people's organisations as well as groups of friends or
families.
