Canal Boat Hire

On a canal boat holiday there is something for everyone- the wildlife is abundant, and the wild flowers and greenery combine with the old historic bridges, aqueducts and tunnels. There are many interesting museums, country houses, and potteries, like the fabulous Wedgwood Visitor centre. If you fancy some exciting staircase locks, then look no further than Union Wharf marina, and you will have some long tunnels and beautiful rural landscapes thrown in as well.

You might want the excitement of the Llangollen Canal, from our base at Blackwater Meadow in Ellesmere, Shropshire with its vast aqueducts in the sky, long tunnels, and quaint Lift bridges, in the beautiful Welsh Valleys.

If you are fed up with long queues and delays with trains, planes and ferries, and are concerned about the carbon footprint of your holiday travels, then why not consider joining many of the others who are choosing to leave behind the stresses of long distance travel and are opting to holiday in the UK. read more
