Canal boats, also known as narrowboats (and sometimes referred to as barges or longboats) are very easy to drive and offer a truly unique family holiday. Alternatively, hire a narrowboat for a relaxing weekend or midweek short break, perfect for couples families and groups of friends. The UK canal network offers over 3,000 miles of historic waterways and is steeped in more than 200 years of history.

Travel through scenic countryside and past quaint villages on the Llangollen Canal in North Wales - a UNESCO World Heritage Site with highlights including the 126ft high Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the "stream in the sky" spanning the Dee Valley. The Anderton Boat Lift on the nearby Trent & Mersey Canal is perfect for a family adventure holiday, and especially popular with children.

Canal and Norfolk Broads boating holidays are perfect for all the family - four legged friends included. Dogs love being with the 'family pack' and enjoy the ever changing surroundings. And there is plenty of wildlife for them to watch! Most boats are pet friendly and many waterside pubs will allow dogs in the bar area or garden.
