Canal Holidays are fun for all the family
Canal boat rentals provide an exciting and inspiring
holiday for children. They're a great chance to get the whole family
to spend time together and kids can really get involved on board the
boat. Whether they help to navigate, map read, work the locks or swab
the decks, there's something for kids of all ages on a canal boat
rental holiday.
Kids get interested in their environment on a canal
boat holiday
Children love to see the wildlife that flourishes
on the British canals. Fantastic arrays of birds are attracted to
the peaceful and thriving habitat of Britain's canals. Expect to encounter
ducks, swans, and herons, toads, kingfishers and dragonflies, and
if you're really lucky you'll see the endangered voles and otters.
It's easy to stop and moor up your boat anywhere on most canals,
so an afternoon walk through the woods or a museum stop off can make
a pleasant change to cruising. Bike rides, pony treks and canal side
fishing are all easy options that are sure to go down well with the
kids. Many of the canal side pubs are kid-friendly and with all the
fresh air they'll get on this holiday, they're sure to sleep soundly
through the night!
Canal boats have modern conveniences
Should children begin to get weary, there's a television
and DVD player on board- so bringing some films with you may be wise
if your kids' attention span is likely to wane.
Safety on a canal boat
We provide life jackets for children, so there's
no need to worry about safety, though of course children should be
supervised at all times when out on deck. Working the locks definitely
needs a team effort, and older children will jump at the chance to
help out.
Our experts at the marinas will advise you on safety issues when
you arrive, so you know what the dangers are and how to ensure you
have a safe and fun journey!
Canal boat rentals are a real adventure for the whole family. Each
of our marinas offers a choice of routes with different activities
and sights along the way. On a canal boat rental holiday, you determine
the distances you travel, the places you stop and the general pace
of your trip. This makes it a perfect holiday for adults and children
alike. |
