Rent a holiday cottage close to a canal and enjoy canalside walks on holiday. Some people love to rent a houseboat on holiday whereas others prefer to stay close to a canal, where you can enjoy walks past the various locks, see the barges make their way along the canals and spot the ducks, swans and geese in the water.
Canals are attractive waterways and some of Britain’s best known canals include the longest; the Grand Union Canal and the oldest which is the Fossdyke Navigation. Many of Britain’s canals are under the protection and management of the Canal River Trust. Whichever canal or aqueduct you plan on discovering on holiday, remember to leave only footprints and take only memories.
We hope you find the perfect holiday cottage close to a canal for you.
