Planning your holiday route
At the heart of the Canal Network
There are over 2000 miles of inland waterways in England, varying in character wherever they lie. Rose Narrowboats’ fleet is based at the heart of this network of waterways, giving you a
generous choice of routes to cruise and places to see.
Stunning views and scenery
A one or two week cruise will allow you to travel quite a distance, either as an out-and-back trip or travelling a “Ring”. Out-and-back means that you can take your time doing whatever you want to do as long as you allow enough time to get back again (the scenery always looks different coming back the other way), whereas travelling a Ring means you have to be more watchful of your timing. But of course you will have fresh views all the way.
A Canal guide can be useful
Experience has shown that certain routes are more feasible than others and these are described in some detail under Longer Routes and Three Week headings. Details of these routes can be found in the excellent guides which you can select and order on the Booking Form, and on our website.
