All routes start from our base on the Northern section of the Oxford Canal between Rugby and Coventry.
See our map
Stratford-on-Avon Canal
84 locks there and 84 locks back will make you fit, and still leave plenty of time to explore all the delights on the way -the beautiful Stratford Canal, Stratford-on-Avon itself and Warwick with its castle. This is more of a 10 day or 2 week cruise to do the 68 hours of cruising for the whole route.
