Canal boat holidays and canal boat hire

There's a great canal network out there just waiting to be explored! And we're not talking just about canal boat hire in England, Scotland and Wales either. There are some great canal holidays available in France and Belgium too! Whether you are looking for the more tradition canal boat hire (narrow boat hire) or the larger canal barge holidays we encourage you to look through the hire companies listed below. Canal boat hire often involves working direct with a small family run business located on or beside the canal network. The canal holidays they offer will introduce you to a slower pace surrounded by stunning, often historic, and always interesting backdrops.
