Narrow Boats in Britain

What could be nicer than travelling at a leisurely pace along the canals of Britain in a Narrow boat? Once the backbone of the industrial revolution, a narrow boat is now considered a pleasure craft and the canals, now free of industrial traffic are the ideal place for a narrow boat holiday. You can take out a boat for a day trip or hire a narrow boat for a week or more. Some of these craft are like floating hotels with every conceivable luxury including baths and running water. A narrow boat really can provide five star floating accommodation, although there is no official rating for narrow boats.

All along the canals, there are pubs and restaurants along the banks, access to small sleepy villages almost cut off from any other access and wildlife and birds that you wouldn’t see unless you were on the water in a narrow boat. Apart from the quiet chugging of the engine, there are no other sounds except those of the local wildlife. A truly tranquil experience.

Narrow boat companies are able to provide full advice on everything you need for a narrow boat holiday, they can suggest detailed routes and recommend stopping points along the way. They will also provide instructions on handling the narrow boat and navigating the various locks you will find along the canal. Driving a narrow boat is a great deal of fun and for a different and relaxing holiday we would thoroughly recommend a narrow boat holiday.
