About
Canal holidays suit more people than you'd think. Including you! Canal boats are perfectly safe and enjoyable for families, and the whole trip becomes a team effort that’ll be talked about for months. Couples can enjoy a private getaway, while friends can spend more time together and still stop off at canalside pubs.
Canal boats offer something different from your usual holiday. Coastal cruisers move faster and cover more ground, but canals let you slow right down and notice the details. You're moving, but slowly enough to actually take things in. Every day brings new scenery without the hassle of packing up and driving somewhere else.
Dog owners don't need to leave pets behind. Most boats welcome them, and mooring stops give plenty of opportunities for walks along the towpath. If mobility's a concern, many boats now feature accessible layouts with ramps and handrails. Moorings tend to be flat and easy to manage too.
Goytre Wharf is a landlocked canal keeps things simple, with just a handful of locks to pass through. Reach levels of peace and quiet you could’ve only imagined with this seven-night trip through the Welsh countryside.
There is no previous experience is necessary nor do you need a driving licence. Our boats are extremely easy to handle and full tuition is given at the start of every holiday, yYou and the boat itself is licenced by us for CRT waterways.This really is a holiday the whole family can enjoy together!
