Boaters HandbookThe Boaters Handbook has been put together by the Canal & River Trust who manage the UK canal network. It has been designed to help with your boating experience. It is available as a PDF or Video. The video can be viewed in its entirety or as individual chapters, Setting Off, Handling the Boat, Locks, Bridges & Tunnels and Good Boat Practise.
So if you would like to do some homework before you arrive with us for your boating holiday then check these out. |
Overview of a BoatThese days we are so used to everything being on-hand, as in when you flick a switch you expect a light or appliance to work or when you open a tap you expect water to flow. Obviously, these things still apply on boats but less obvious may be the way things operate, so with this overview we hope it will make things a little clearer.

We are well located in a very attractive part of England with excellent transport connections to and from the major airports (London Heathrow, Birmingham International and Manchester).
