You have a wide choice of all the major canal rings and canals, each with their own character and charm. Slow Down... You can slow the pace down a bit and relax from the rat race for a while. Watch the wildlife and enjoy the countryside with long leisurely lunches at a country pub. Journey Through Time... Built over 200 years ago, the canals meander through the countryside, passing near ancient castles, stately homes, historical market towns and cities, and even theme parks. You can stop and visit places like: The Wedgwood Factory, Nantwich, Alton Towers, Banbury, Blenheim Palace or Stratford upon Avon. Bring The Kids... Children love the adventure of a canal holiday. They like to help work the locks and steer the boat (with adult supervision) or pretend they're on a pirate adventure. Needless to say there are always hungry ducks!
