All aboard
There is no better way to truly relax and take in the British countryside than by hiring out a canal boat.
Whether it's for a weekend or 3 weeks break a canal boat break can offer you a holiday with a difference. You can do nothing but relax as you drift along at no more than 4 miles an hour, with the odd flurry of activity at the locks or the hilarious act of doing a 3-point turn. The variety of scenery is endless, city, town, village and country, wide canal and narrow canal, and new delights around each bend. |
Once inside the boats have everything you could need and all up to a high standard (and of cleanliness) from full cooking facilities, a dining and sitting area, a tv, cd player, and creatively fitted bathrooms.
We took out a boat with a couple of friends and dogs in toe and enjoyed numerous barbeques along the side of the canal, sunbathing as the world drifted by, lots of walking, visiting a couple of pubs and moored up at the quietest spots, with nothing but countryside for miles around. |
