So what's so Great about Great Canal and River Holidays?
So what's so great about Great Canal and River Holidays?
That is a question we get asked often.
Especially as we live in Adelaide, Australia, about as far
away from the waterways of Britain as one can get.
But since the 70's we been traveling to Britain
regularly, to enjoy the unique experience of the Waterways.
We not only cruise.
We walk the towpaths.
We stroll in the villages, and chat to the locals.
We shop in their shops.
We dine in the pubs.
And every night, we sleep in our home away from home, our
lovely cozy narrow boat.
There is nothing quite like being lulled to sleep with the
lapping of water against your boat.
And waking to the sound of the birdlife each morning.
There is so much to offer.
Endlessly changing scenery.
Fascinating variety of wildlife.
Beautiful towns and villages.
The camaraderie of other boaters.
Waking in the morning and deciding to cruise
to....anywhere we choose!
So, THAT’S what is so great about Canal and River
Holidays.
ALL of it.
We are certainly no experts, and haven’t visited all the
waterways, (yet!) but we will share with you our experiences.
*Our favourite journeys.
*Our favourite villages.
*Our favourite pubs.
*Our favourite guides and videos.
*Our favourite narrow boat hires companies.
And hopefully, you will share your experiences with us.
So,let’s get cruising!
