The Oxford Canal is the country’s most delightful
boating holiday area, meandering from the outskirts of Coventry down to our own dreaming spires of Oxford.
The Oxford Canal was built to transport coal from the coalfields in the midlands to the south of England. For a time, being one of the country’s most important waterways.
Enticing landscapes of
soft gentle pastureland passing by antique Cotswold villages, it’s
unique charm has made it the country’s most popular boating holiday by canal. It is a canal
which you must explore. Mooring your boat and walking to the nearby
villages and of course experiencing the numerous pubs along the way.
A short break
boating holiday
takes you
to Aynho or Banbury and back dependent on how energetic you feel and
whether you get delayed in one of the many pubs. (Half of our Oxford
Canal boating
holiday boats are
available for short breaks as we feel that this is a very good way to
test the water!)
A one week
boating holiday cruise takes
you to Napton and back on the canal (cruising through the newly built
town centre of Banbury and the super little village of Cropredy) or you
can cruise the Thames down to Windsor and back or to Lechlade and
return. (Thames licence required).
There
are some nice longer boating holiday cruises also if you are planning one. It’s best
that you ring and have a chat. (The South of England circuit for
example! or even a trip into the centre of London and Little Venice).
