Boating Holidays

 - Find your perfect UK Boating Holiday
From the moment you set off on your boating holiday in your self-drive hire cruiser or traditional narrowboat, onto Britain's vast network of canals, rivers and inland waterways, you're at the helm in more ways than one. That's because you have the freedom to decide where to go, where to stop and what to visit.
In the Heart of England you can drift through the vales whose beauty has inspired some of Britain's most distinguished poets, authors and musicians. You can travel the same waters that Shakespeare fished, enjoy a meal at a heavily beamed waterside inn or, journeying to the West Country, see the Roman splendours and Georgian elegance of Bath, or absorb the maritime heritage of Bristol, once the keystone of the UK's mercantile power.
