Cruising the Worcester and Birmingham Canal on a canal boat hire from Brook Line Narrowboats is an ideal way to relax.  The narrowboats for hire are well equipped with all modern facilities.  Brook Line Narrowboats is a family owned company who offer tuition to anyone who has not handled a canal boat before. They are based just north of the city of Worcester, surrounded by the green countryside.

Once aboard your narrowboat you have a choice of where to cruise. If you have 3 nights only for your break you could decide to travel from Droitwich to the cathedral city of Worcester and back. This will allow you to see a mixture of wonderful views of open fields and farmland as well as several interesting buildings in the city. The benefit for those who have not been on a narrowboat before is that several miles are covered before the need to tackle your first lock. Dropping down through the Worcestershire countryside you are soon in the historic, cathedral city of Worcester with all its land based attractions.

If you would like to hire a narrowboat and cruise the canal this summer, why not follow this link to find out hoThis impressive cathedral stands proudly above the River Severn and can trace its history right back to the 12th century! If you visit, its well worth taking part in the cathedral tour which runs twice a day from Monday to Saturday during the summer. The trained cathedral guide will talk you through the most important aspects of the cathedral, such as its architecture, monuments, and stained glass windows, and will also explain why it is that the current tower is the third one in the cathedral`s history!

A number of boat hire companies have invested in new boats for the 2009 season.  This shows their commitment to keeping up a high standard of value to their customers (you and me).  New boats usually bring new technology with them and added features for your comfort on holiday.  Many already have such things as central or warm air heating, for the colder months of the year.  Modern appliances like T.V. and CD Players are now quite common on most boats for hire.

On the Norfolk Broads, Ferry Marina at Horning have taken delivery of new boats this year. So cruising on the River Bure will be even more relaxing and comfortable!  On the Oxfordshire canals, both Oxfordshire Narrowboats at Radcot and Clifton Cruisers at Rugby have spent money on new narrowboats for the 2009 season and beyond.  Reading Marine Company at Padworth have bought new boats to cruise the Kennet and Avon Canals, so life will be very pleasent for those hiring these brand new canal boats!

Finally, right up north in Inverness, Caley Cruisers have invested in new boats to tackle the Caledonian Canal from Loch Ness southwards to Fort William.  These boats are not only suited to canal work but also able to be safe and dry on the open waters of the Scottish lochs!  So why not enquire more about these boats and where to take them on holiday with you this year, somewhere in Britain.
