Boating Holidays in Britain
The way many people think of a boating holiday is lazily gliding along a canal or the Norfolk Broads or any of the other waterways of Britain on a lovely summers day. There’s so much more to Boating Holidays in Britain.
First off – it is a fantastic way for the whole family to see the countryside (and maybe each other) from a whole new perspective.
Travelling on a boat slows the pace of life and provides relaxation and a real escape from the stresses of daily life.
A Boating Holiday in Britain has everything to re-charge your batteries.
The Scenery, Nature and Wildlife – awaken to the sound of birds, marvel at nature in all her glory as she shows herself on the waterways and the adjoining countryside. Around every bend are sights new most city dwellers. Step off the boat and enter a world to explore on foot or by bicycle. Discover nature reserves teaming with wildlife and be surprised how easy they are to access from the waterways.
Freedom and Relaxation – take it easy. Travel as far as you want, stop when and where you want, explore what takes your fancy. It’s your holiday, no timetables or routines and since the speed limit on most waterways is 4-6 mph, there’s no hurry to get to where you’re going. Leave the world behind as much or as little as you want – glide past the towns and villages or stop to explore – your choice!
Restaurants and Pubs – Waterside eateries and watering holes are just a step away. Moor the boat and step ashore for a tempting choice just waiting for you to discover.
Shopping, Sightseeing and Walking the Dog – Again, just moor up and you are there! Often within walking distance, your mooring is the starting point for exploring villages, towns and even cities along the waterways of Britain. Castles, museums, shops, cathedrals, restaurants, night life and so much more is just waiting for you to step ashore.
Well behaved dogs are welcome on most boats and the peace of the banks and tow paths offer not only picturesque walking but the added adventure of nature up close for both you and your dog!
Can’t leave your creature comforts behind? You don’t have to, boats have all the mod/cons.
You’ll find the boat gives you plenty of headroom, the living area offers real comfort with TV for entertainment, the kitchen is equipped with the necessities – cooker, frig and even microwaves, there are flush toilets and a shower or bathroom that’s fully equipped. Beds come with sprung or foam mattresses for dreamless sleep and there’s enough storage space for a whole family.
