Cheshire Base Narrowboat Base

Enjoy a day trip on a canal boat, exploring the beautiful countryside of Cheshire.

Based near Northwich, our Cheshire Acton Bridge hire base at Bartington Wharf is a great place for testing the water with a narrowboat day hire trip.  You can either travel north up to the Bridgewater Canal to Walton Gardens or south down towards Anderton.

Perfect for birthday celebrations, anniversaries or just a special day trip, we welcome parties of up to 8, including children.   Bring along food and drink and savour a different way of eating out!

This is a self-drive option, so you’ll be your own captain, taking charge of the boat and cruising away in style!

You don’t need any qualifications or previous experience; a full induction training session will be given before you leave, so all beginners welcome.
