If peace and quiet are what you desire, you can moor up miles from anywhere with just the countryside, the wildlife and the sky for company. Or perhaps you'd prefer a pint, a hearty meal and some good conversation at one of the many canal-side pubs with your bed just feet away. Maybe a fine restaurant in one of the towns or cities on the canal? The choice is yours.

There is so much to see and do on a canal holiday, and narrowboating is simple. Push the lever forwards to go, backward to stop or reverse. The tiller controls the left and right bit and that's it! Even if you've never driven a boat before, after twenty minutes or so of our expert tuition, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about!
