UK Canal Holidays

Its not all beaches and heat rash! Fancy a break in the UK? Then look no further than a canal boat holiday.

We spent three lovely giggle-filled days sailing on the York Canal from Ripon to York. It was a fantastic few days. We stopped each night to eat in a different pub and ate lunch al fresco moored on the canal bank. Proper 'Wind in the Willows'. Going through the locks was a bit daunting, but easy once you got the hang of it.

The boat was a bit cramped and it helps if you are very friendly with your crew mates, but they were well equipped and had everything that we needed for a fantastic weekend. (The boats not the crewmates).
