London BaseThe London base is an ideal place from which to explore London and its attractions at an easy pace. It combines the best of the sights along with a more relaxed lifestyle. The Grand Union Canal Paddington Arm will take you through the heart of London, past most of the attractions of the big city and many hidden gems conveniently accessed via the waterways. |
Chirk BaseBased on the breathtaking Llangollen Canal in North Wales, Chirk’s lovely marina is situated on the site of the Chirk Golf & Country Club. With much to offer, the Llangollen Canal meanders gracefully through the beautiful countryside where the World Heritage Site – the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct – spans across the Dee Valley. |
Acton Bridge BaseBased near Northwich, Acton Bridge is a great place for exploring a number of routes. Traveling north, you meet the canal where it all started – the Bridgewater Canal, which takes you lock-free to Manchester. From there you can travel to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, or continue on the Cheshire Ring via the Peak Forest and Macclesfield. |
The Peak District BaseSituated on the re-developed National Garden Festival Site, this is one of the most popular Black Prince starting points. On site, there is an exciting Water World, dry ski-slope, multi-screened cinema, ten pin bowling and shopping centre . . . and that is before you get on the water! |
Falkirk BaseBased at the Falkirk Wheel, one of the most stunning backdrops anywhere on the canals, we are ideally sited half way between Edinburgh and Glasgow. |
Stoke Prior BaseSituated in a lovely spot, Stoke Prior is the base for those who want a more active holiday, being at the bottom of the Tardebigge flight of locks. It is a base of contrasts, with routes taking in the Rivers Severn and Avon, as well as a number of different canals. |
Napton BaseIdeally situated at the head of the Oxford Canal, Napton is a base for a large number of interesting routes. The Warwickshire Ring, for the more energetic, contrasts the beautiful countryside around Warwick with city life and industry through Birmingham and Spaghetti Junction. |
