Canals and Rivers

Canal boat hire gives you the widest choice of holiday experiences. With its stunning landscape and many historic sites, the Cheshire Ring is regarded as the finest of the canal 'rings'. The Kennet & Avon Canal streams through beautiful countryside from the Avon at Bristol to the River Thames, via the famous city of Bath. And for canal boat hire on the large network of waterways going from Coventry to Oxford, that also covers the Thames Ring, why not head to the Oxford and South Midlands Canals.

Canal boat breaks on the Heart of England Canals mean you can relax across six lovely English shires, from Tewksbury to Stafford, via a host of historic attractions and sites on the way. A canal boat Hosesons holiday on Yorkshire's Waterways offers breathtaking views as these glorious waterways weave their way along amazing landscapes. And for dramatic scenery, the Llangollen Canal's countryside and two stunning aqueducts are one of the best canal boating attractions and experiences.

Owned and maintained by the National Trust, the River Wey is a peaceful waterway running through the heart of Surrey. And a Hoseasons boating holiday on a River Thames canal boat or cruiser has everything you could ever wish for and more – historic, beautiful scenery with a lovely friendly atmosphere. The Cambridgeshire Waterways offer cruising along 150 miles of tranquil waters gently winding through the Fens of East Anglia.

Take a Hoeseasons canal boat holiday on the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals, and you can travel across Scotland from Glasgow in the west to Edinburgh in the east, passing over 3 spectacular aqueducts and the unforgetable Falkirk Wheel.

Scotland Lochs

A Scottish Hoseasons boating holiday on the Caledonian Canal and Scotland's freshwater lochs is a unique cruise taking in natural beauty. From the foot of the famous Ben Nevis right up to Inverness and the North Sea, your Caledonian Canal cruise can cover Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and the legendary Loch Ness.

Varying stretches of narrow canals widening into broad, open waters as you lounge through amazing scenery – mountains, rugged moors tree covered hills and heathers up to the water's edge. Loch banks fringed with hidden coves and secluded inlets, and dotted with fascinating towns, villages and castles to explore. Adding to the ease of your cruise, all locks on the Caledonian Canal are operated by lock keepers at no extra charge.

Explore the mysterious waters of legendary Loch Ness on your Caledonian Canal cruise, and discover the haunting ruins of Castle Urquart, or go pony trekking and then stop off at Drumnadrochit to take in the Loch Ness Monster Museum or visit Foyers to admire the famous waterfalls.

There's so much to see and do on a Caledonian Canal holiday. You can shop for tackle at Fort Augustus and enjoy a spot of excellent fishing on Loch Oich, or try out a range of water sports at the Great Glen Water Park, and take a stroll round Invergarry Castle.

At the southern end of Loch Lochy, near the Caledonian Canal Gairlochy Locks, you'll find the Clan Cameron Museum, and from Fort William you can even take a scenic train journey to Mallaig.
