Top destinations for 2023
From rural retreats to vibrant city centres, narrowboat holidaymakers can use their boat as a floating holiday home to explore Britain’s network of inland waterways. There’s a great choice of hundreds of waterside destinations and canalside pubs to stop off at along the way.
Could this be the shape of things to come?
Since the birth of the waterways, there haven’t been that many alterations to the design of narrowboats; minor adaptations and trends have come and gone but the basic design hasn’t undergone any significant changes.
