One thing is for sure, on a narrowboat holiday, you slowwwww right down. This is an escape from fast cars, busy roads, overflowing shopping centres and the ubiquitous hustle and bustle.
Instead, you will experience the wonders and the great heritage of our waterways. Mother Nature goes about her business as the days and the seasons change. You get to enjoy those incomparable and hospitable canal-side pubs, and meet fellow boaters who are passing the time of day. All of this at only 2 – 3 miles per hour.
Canaltime welcomes guests into six excellent canal locations (Alvechurch, Anderton, Blackwater Meadow, Gayton, Hilperton and Worcester) where members have access to a large fleet of 31 high quality narrowboats. If a ‘get away from it all’ holiday in the UK is what you’re after, this experience is for you – whether you’re a novice or a frequent boater.
Narrowboats are built for the special purpose of cruising along the inland canal waterways of Britain. En-route discover your favourite canal-side pub, enjoy English and Welsh countryside, even try your luck with rod and reel in the waters below. However you choose to spend your canal time, it’s your time…and here, time is certainly on your side.
All Canaltime narrowboats have been specifically crafted for holiday use and can sleep between four to six people depending on the boat you select. They are well-appointed with the right level of appliances and equipment to satisfy the expectations of today’s holidaymaker. Away from the canal-side pubs, if you prefer your own cooking, there is a grill, oven, four burner hob and microwave on board.
