Whilst cruising in the Dales, why not do some walking, exploring the hills and valleys, taking in the fresh air and beauty?

Whether you and your crew are first time sailors or already well experienced, you will feel yourself unwinding as life takes on a different pace and aspect. The locks and swing bridges provide your crew with plenty of exercise and amusement.

Your evening mooring may find you alongside one of the canal-side inns, where you will find refreshment and the opportunity to exchange tales of your experiences, or you may choose the quiet solitude of the open countryside with only the call of the curlew or the chatter of the moorhen for company. Ideal for the whole family, a canal holiday provides interest and entertainment for all ages whatever the weather.
