🌿 THE 2026 SEASON MAY BE OVER, BUT YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE IS WAITING! 🚤

Our boats have returned to base for the winter, but that doesn’t mean the canal adventures have to stop! 💚
Now’s the perfect time to start dreaming about your 2027 narrowboat holiday with Black Prince.

Here are four ideas to inspire your 2027 canal adventure 👇

🏘️ 1. Explore the Oxford Canal
Meander through beautiful countryside, pass traditional canal-side cottages and discover historic towns and villages along the way. Perfect for those who love a mix of heritage, scenery and leisurely cruising.

🌉 2. Cruise the Llangollen Canal & cross Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Fancy a little adventure? Take in breathtaking Welsh scenery and experience the unforgettable feeling of cruising high above the Dee Valley on this incredible World Heritage Site aqueduct!

🛍️ 3. Visit charming market towns
Stretch your legs and explore somewhere new. From Stone in Staffordshire to Braunston in Northamptonshire and the historic streets of Leek, there are plenty of places to stop, wander, browse the shops and enjoy a bite to eat.

🌅 4. Find your perfect countryside mooring
Sometimes the best part of a canal holiday is finding a peaceful spot to moor up, watching the sun go down, spotting wildlife and enjoying a quiet evening on board. No rush, no timetable. Just the waterways.

✨ Whether you’re planning a short break or a longer adventure, your 2027 escape could be closer than you think!

That’s more than 2,000 miles of peaceful countryside, historic towns, fascinating waterways and plenty of places to explore by boat. 🛶
Many of these waterways were built hundreds of years ago to transport goods, helping shape the towns and cities we know today. Now, they offer a completely different way to explore the UK, at a much slower pace! 💚
