From three days to two weeks or more, why not get away from it all on one of our superb narrowboats.
For three-day breaks we recommend heading north where it is an easy day's cruise to the River Trent. Here, you have a choice of routes- the River Trent towards Nottingham, the Trent and Mersey Canal or the Erewash Canal; each has its own character.
On longer cruises you could head south through Leicester with its fascinating mix of modern waterfronts, industrial heritage and parks, and on through remote countryside to the impressive staircase locks at Foxton and Watford Gap.
In a busy week or leisurely fortnight you could complete the `Leicester Ring'.
A three-week holiday gives you a choice of circular routes including the River Thames.

Millstream Whichever route and duration you take you will enjoy the contrasting rural and urban scenes, abundant wildlife and the relaxing effect of slowing down to nature's pace on waterways that have changed little in two hundred years.Although the boats have a well-equipped galley, why not treat yourself at some of the waterside inns, many of which are as old and interesting as the canals themselves. These and other features are detailed in the on-board guidebooks.
If you have any qualms about handling a boat, fear not! They are easy to control and full instruction is given to all who require it.
