Planning your canal holiday route
There are over 2000 miles of inland
waterways to enjoy a canal cruise 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 canal cruise and places to see.
A one or two week canal 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.
Experience has
shown that certain routes are more feasible than others
and some require two or three weeks to complete. We describe recommended
canal holiday routes on other pages, see the links on the right.
Much fuller
details of these routes, as well as possible longer
routes, can be found in the excellent guides which you
can select from the list at the bottom of this page -
