5 Most Scenic Canal Holidays to Enjoy This Autumn
We know that all the lockdown and social distancing had you craving for the great outdoors, but you’re also smart enough to know that a crowded and highly frequented place is dangerous. So, for a problem like that, we have a perfect solution for you - a canal boat holiday!
Lucky for us UK residents, we have access to some of the most beautiful canals. Their beauty is striking during autumn. Here are some of the options for you to choose from:
Warwickshire Ring is a series of canals. If you and your mates are the kinds who quickly get bored, this route is for you. The sheer variety of landscapes and views found on this boat ride will keep you interested and occupied longer than you can imagine. First, you’ll experience peace and serenity on the idyllic lands that surround the Oxford Canal. Then you’ll gravitate towards the history of the industrial heritage and of pre-canal times as you’ll look upon the majestic medieval Warwick castle.
Ashby Canal is like a sheet of glass, flat without any locks. You can float over it for hours and enjoy the mesmerizing view as it meanders along the glorious countryside.

There’s nothing that can ruin this beautiful setting, so make sure your canal boat hire is only from the best.
