Bath

Sydney Wharf. Bathwick Hill, Bath, BA2 4EL

The golden city of Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years.

From Bristol in the west, to Reading in the east, this stretch of water will stretch your imagination and highlight the diverse range of exciting and unique experiences an Anglo Welsh narrowboat holiday has to offer – from simple weekend cruises to wonderful weeks and fabulous fortnights, we’re as flexible as you are!

Harbour, wharf, aqueduct, tunnel and lock – you can encounter all of them en route on a short break, weekly cruise or longer excursion. Head west from our base and in just 5 minutes you’ll reach the Visitor Moorings in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath. If that’s a bit soon for you to be stopping, then the natural hot springs and Thermae Spa, stunning architecture, great shopping, iconic attractions and bustling waterfront restaurants will still be there on the way back!

Head further towards the setting sun along the River Avon to Bristol. ‘Jump ship’ with your crew and visit Brunel’s masterpiece, the SS Great Britain, or explore Bristol Zoo, the galleries, museums and parks and the mangroves, rockpools and exotic waters of the new Blue Reef Aquarium at the Harbourside.

With a variety of experiences on this beautiful stretch of canal it’s also worth noting that the canal between Bath and Bristol will need the steady hand of the more experienced canal crew.
