Widebeam boat on winter trip on Grand Union Canal

Winter days on the canal bring a different kind of beauty ❄️💙 Calm, quiet, and wonderfully peaceful. Boat hire in winter is a gentle way to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the water at a slower pace 🚤✨ #SundayMood #Winter #BoatHire #UKCanals #Charity #LifesBetterByWater #Calm #Cosy #PeacefulMoments

Whatever the season, there’s nothing quite like time spent on the water 💙 We welcome all groups from families, friends, schools, and care homes to enjoy relaxing boat trips along the beautiful Grand Union Canal all year round.

An autumnal day on the Cromford Canal at Whatstandwell in the Derwent Valley. The canal opened in 1794, and ran 14.5 miles from Cromford to the Erewash Canal, and today is an SSSI for its entire length from Cromford Wharf to Ambergate.

Walking into the weekend...
