Bath

A World Heritage City

Our narrowboat hire base at Sydney Wharf in Bath is a 15 minute walk from the historic centre of the city.
A four hour and six lock cruise from our narrowboat hire base at Monkton Combe.
An eight hour, seven lock  journey from the picturesque Cotswold town of Bradford on Avon.

Bath makes a fantastic short city break destination from both our Sydney Wharf and Monkton Combe narrowboat hire bases. The beautiful Georgian city nestled among the Somerset hills is famous for its Roman Baths built around natural hot springs, its modern Thermae Bath Spa which uses the same mineral rich waters, its stunning Regency architecture and its links with Jane Austen as well as great shopping and wonderful pubs, cafes and restaurants. Combining beauty, history and culture with a bustling modern city vibe, Bath offers a perfect minibreak during any canal boat holiday.
