Routes

We have a huge choice of routes, covering all the waterways of Yorkshire and the North. You can't do them all in one holiday (though lots of our customers keep coming back for more). Choosing where to go can seem difficult, but don't worry - we will guide you, and one of the best ways can be simply to set off and see where you get to.

or - Use the availability search, right. This will give you a selection of boats to match your criteria. On each boat, click 'Routes for this boat' and you will see details of all your choices for that boat.

or - Look at our Canals pages, and choose a canal you'd like to explore.

Don't look at ewvery single route - you'll get confused, and notice similar text in different places. Just look at the routes that suit your time, ability and inclination.

For everyone

All these routes are 'out & back'; you bring the boat back to the place you started. We have two bases, our main one at Sowerby Bridge, and a small one at Foulridge. Both give you have access to amazing scenery and interesting places.
