A boating holiday is an altogether different holiday experience

Take a holiday on the waterways in a hire boat and discover a slower, more relaxed pace of life on the historic canals around Stratford Upon Avon known as Shakespeare’s country.
 
A holiday of contrasts, taken at a slow pace, the variety is endless - city, town, village and country, wide canal, narrow canal and river. 
 
Every bend brings forth some new feature.  Narrowboat holidays are for relaxation, for unwinding from every day pressures, for doing what you like, when you like. 
 
Stratford-upon-Avon is nestled in the Heart of England and is a great place to explore the River Avon and The Stratford Canal. Shakespeare’s country offers a delightful blend of heritage, culture, theatre and gardens. It is the perfect choice for a relaxing, interesting holiday.
 
Cruise west to Evesham, Tewkesbury and Gloucester or cruise east to Warwick, Leamington Spa and Banbury.
 
Or, why not combine a week on a narrowboat with a week of touring the beautiful towns and countryside in the area. 

The narrowboat is available for one week from Saturday, 5th July, 2008
