Canal Boat Holidays and Narrowboat Timeshare Rentals,
enjoying the heritage of the Inland waterways canals and rivers
There are now about 2000 miles of navigable canals in the U.K. available for canal boat holidays. A heritage dating back to the industrial revolution. During which they served as the major transport system, linking major Cities to Ports and industrial sites.
With improvements in road and rail the canals fell into disuse.
Fortunately in the last 50 years or so the value of these waterways as a recreational resource has been realised and as a result of efforts of Voluntary Canal Societies, The Inland Waterways Association and British waterways we now have an enviable inland waterways system serving much of the U.K. and dedicated largely to leisure usage: Canal boat holidays, boating activities, fishing , canoeing plus walking, jogging and cycling on the towpaths, which have been restored along with the canals.
There are few pleasanter ways of viewing the U.K.
You avoid a lot of the stress of modern life with a free passage at a leisurely rate through city and country alike on routes first established some 200 years ago .
The canals are well serviced by waterside Pubs and Restaurants in a lot of places and generally the waterways community is friendly and helpful, though somehow separate from the normal bustle of life, though not so very far away.
If you are looking for an activity holiday in the U.K. hiring a Narrowboat is worth considering. There is a whole new world of skills and interests to be explored in a helpful and friendly environment and by choosing your holiday carefully you can match the experience to your needs.
Those seeking challenge can choose routes such as Tardebigge with its massive flight of locks to test their muscles, or the less ambitious can choose easier routes, lockless at need.
