First time boaters are given a friendly welcome by everybody on the canal.
But you won't be inexperienced for very long, for within a short time you will be gliding serenely around the first bend into a whole new and different world.
The specially designed canal boats are easy to handle
and of course, everything on a canal boat holiday happens at a relaxed pace. You will be
given all the instruction you need by the holiday company and will
soon head off on your very own adventure like a seasoned boater.
Your boat will be fully equipped with every modern amenity, so self-catering
becomes a pleasure, but there are also many canalside pubs, once
essential 'staging posts' for the working boats of the last century,
which are now popular watering holes for holiday boaters; and most
offer great food at reasonable prices.The Waterways are preserved for the benefit of all by British Waterways
who are a public corporation committed to the conservation of the
waterways and their environment.
