Heritage Narrow Boats is based on the Macclesfield Canal in Scholar Green near Stoke-On-Trent in Cheshire. Explore the outstandingly beautiful Cheshire plains on one our holiday narrowboats. For your narrowboat holiday, we are ideally positioned not far from the junction of the Macclesfield & Trent and Mersey canals to cruise the Cheshire Ring and Four counties Ring also the Caldon and Peak Forest canals. We have a wide choice of holiday hire narrow boats to suit parties of all sizes and make-up; you are assured of a relaxing and enjoyable break.

There are routes for ‘first timers’, for instance through ‘Bosley Locks’ and up to the ‘Peak Forest Canal‘, allowing you to cruise without too many locks allowing the new user to get a feel for the boat. Sometimes called a ‘long boat’ or ‘barge’, a ‘narrow boat’. One can travel at a leisurely 3 miles an hour, and you cannot help but relax and unwind.

A self catering boating holiday provides a flexible holiday, where travelling at a leisurely 3 miles (or 3 locks per hour), you cannot help but relax and unwind. It is the sort of holiday that can appeal to everyone and is a great way to escape from the pressures of modern life, travelling through the beautiful countryside by day and mooring for the night near a friendly canal side pub or a peaceful stretch on the towpath. Fresh air leads to healthy appetites and many of the canal side pubs will also serve food, which gives Mum a break too.

This is a relaxing self catering holiday for all the family, and fascinating for those interested in beautiful countryside, architecture, scenery and our industrial heritage. Here at Heritage Narrow Boats, you can hire a boat for just the day, or 3, 5, 7 or even two weeks.
