Recommended routes:

Caldon & Leek Canal
43 Miles, 34 Locks, 1 Week Cruise

An easy week on an  attractive canal

Four Counties & Cheshire Rings
2 Week Cruises

A “Ring” is often a more attractive proposition for boaters than the route that brings you back along the same waterway.

Macclesfield Canal
38 Miles, 13 Locks, 1 Week Cruise

An easy week travelling into the Peak District along The Macclesfield canal, runs from Kidsgrove to Marple then joining onto the Peak Forest Canal where you will turn at Whaley Bridge.
Peak Forest Canal

The Staffs & Worcester Canal

The Staffs & Worcester Canal is one of James Brindley’s famous “contour canals”,meandering around the contours of the land to avoid the need for cuttings and locks , taking the scenic rather than direct route.

Trent & Mersey Canal


The canal that runs so conveniently past our Festival Park Marina base, so called because it will ultimately take you to the River Trent in the south and the River Mersey in the north, was the most ambitious of all canal pioneer James Brindley’s plans.

Suggested Routes From Chirk
Llangollen Canal
57 Miles, 4 Locks, 1 Week Cruise

A very pleasant and easy route. Traveling first to Llangollen you cross the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct 120 feet above the River Dee. After this the canal perches on the side of the lovely Dee Valley up to Llangollen itself.
