Trevor’s awesome Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the ‘Stream in the Sky’,
which carries the Llangollen canal 126ft high above the River Dee,
was granted World Heritage status in June 2009 - and rightly so.
It towers above the heart of this breathtaking 18km long site,
stretching from Gledrid Bridge near Rhoswiel in Wales, to the
Horseshoe Falls, on the River Dee.
Situated right on the doorstep of our picturesque base, it offers truly
spectacular views, so don’t forget your camera!
With delightful Llangollen town only a two hour cruise away, don’t
miss out on a visit to The Steam Railway Centre. Navigate the
Llangollen to experience one of the UK’s most stunning stretches
of inland waterway. With tunnels, liftbridges, not too many locks,
the rolling plains, Shropshire’s mini-lakes teeming with wildlife and
the splendour of the delightful Dee Valley; there’s truly something
for everyone.
A boat for people with disabilities is available to hire from Trevor.

Set within the heart of rural Cheshire, our base at Bunbury is right
next to the well-known ‘Bunbury Staircase Lock’. A large fleet cruises
from the base offering a wide variety of short and long breaks,
offering something for the beginner right through to the veteran!
Take in the glorious English countryside through Cheshire and
Shropshire or even the delights of North Wales with a cruise along
the Llangollen. Cruise north from the base to Chester – the Zoo is a
great stop for kids of all ages! - And further north again to Ellesmere
Port, where the history of the canals began. Take the ‘Shroppie’
south with not a city in sight; bear off down the Middlewich Branch
and cruise to the world famous Anderton Boat Lift.
Bunbury just has so much to offer and the
team really look forward to welcoming you
to their base.
