Sydney Wharf, Bathwick Hill, Bath, BA2 4EL

We offer canal boat holidays on the Kennet & Avon Canal from Bath

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! Depending on the length of your holiday, you can visit Bath, Bristol and the historic market towns of Bradford on Avon, Devizes, Hungerford or Newbury.

Head west from our base and in just 5 minutes you’ll reach visiting boat moorings in the heart of the World Heritage City of Bath. From there it’s a short walk to visit the Roman Baths, natural hot springs and Thermae Spa, stunning architecture, great shopping, iconic attractions and waterfront restaurants.

Head further towards the setting sun along the River Avon to Bristol. ‘Jump ship’ with your crew and visit Brunel’s SS Great Britain or the Watershed cinema, restaurant and bar in Bristol’s Harbourside.

Our Kennet & Avon Canal holidays are suitable for beginners, but the River Avon between Bath and Bristol does need the steady hand of the more experienced canal crew.
