Why a Narrowboat Holiday

Get away from it all!

A narrowboat holiday is a genuine get away from it all family experience, with an average speed of just 3 mph you have no alternative but to relax and unwind as you meander through some of the country’s most beautiful countryside and its interesting architectural history that our inland waterways have to offer.

There is plenty to see and do both on and off the waterway, there are plenty of places to explore along the way, Castles, Museums, Country Houses (see our links page) and of course the many canal side hostelries. The canal itself offers plenty to keep you occupied whether it be skippering the boat, the fun of operating locks, fishing, observing the varied wildlife and ever changing scenery or just simply soaking up the sun. A narrowboat holiday offers you the freedom to choose your own pace to enjoy this truly unique experience.
