Narrow Boat Holiday Routes in Yorkshire
Shire Cruisers of Sowerby Bridge - The Yorkshire narrow boat holiday company that works hard .... to give you an easy time
One Way Canal Holidays
We give you a choice of four one-way canal routes: by the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, or the Rochdale Canal. All are suitable only for crews with experience of locks. These canal holidays are available for one and two weeks.
We cannot tell you the start point till the week before your canal holiday. We arrange minibus transfer, at extra cost. It is not possible to book two one-way boats at once. You must tell us your intended route when you book.
We also have some rewarding Rings, from 11 to 21 nights.
Boats for these routes start on Saturday or Monday at 2pm and finish 9am.
Mileages and times (for guidance) are for the complete one-way trip.
