Trips can include the Grand Union canal boating holidays, Stratford upon Avon boating holidays and the Llangollen canal boat rental. Grand Union canal boating holidays take you through the south midlands, from Birmingham right down to London. Built to a narrow gauge originally, it was widened in the last century to accommodate wide beam barges. Sadly the tunnels and bridges were not widened and so although these boats can pass along the canal, they cannot pass other boats at these narrow points.
Stratford upon Avon boating holidays are mostly based in leafy Warwickshire and include both the river Avon and the Stratford upon Avon canal. These two waterways combine to form part of the Avon Ring which is a circular holiday route
Llangollen canal boat rental is located on the Llangollen canal which runs from Shropshire through into mid-Wales to the town of Llangollen and it includes some spectacular engineering, including Thomas Telford’s 1000 foot long aqueduct that takes you 120 feet above the River Dee. Not for the faint hearted!
