England's Waterways

Spend your holiday on or beside the waterways, taking new routes through hidden England. The chance to explore and experience our best-loved towns and cities from a completely new perspective.

All located at the heart of England, in the West Midlands. A region celebrated for its rich heritage, cultural attractions, amazing food scene, much-loved cities and magnificent countryside.

And the best way to experience it? Along its waterways.

The traditional narrowboats have all the comforts needed whilst staying on-board, as you drive along the rings at your own pace.

You don't need to be on a boat to enjoy our waterways either. Indulge your inner adventurer and take in the region’s unspoilt countryside by walking and cycling along the canal towpath. The flat towpaths provide the perfect route for a gentle adventure through this hidden area of England, allowing visitors to explore at their leisure and navigate between the cities, towns and countryside with ease.

Of course right in the heart of the region is Birmingham, the perfect backdrop to a waterside city break. Download your Birmingham canal map here.

Stay in stylish canal-side hotels and relax in the regions urban parks and gardens. Then finish off the day and dine in restaurants and pubs loved by the locals, including our many Michelin Starred restaurants.
