Self Steer Day Boat Hire - Canal Boat Trips - Corporate Charter
There is a way of completely escaping from the pressures of modern living, of changing down a gear to an altogether more relaxed pace of life, as you gently cruise through the outstanding Cherwell Valley in rural Oxfordshire. Countryside and wildlife, Cotswold villages and pubs, Stately Homes and Country Walks…all of these are there for you to choose to do just as little, or as much, as you wish…..
Our easy-to-operate canal narrowboats are available for self steer dayhire every day from March to November (and - NEW Skippered Boat Trips & Corporate Charter are now available for 4 or 6 hrs if you'd prefer not to steer the boat yourself). They are ideal for first-timers and experienced boaters alike offering a unique opportunity to savour this most beautiful of rural waterways in North Oxfordshire. From Heyford Wharf you may cruise as far north as Aynho, or as far south as the Rock of Gibraltar (but only in England!). In either direction you'll discover the 'narrow locks' of England's canals together with the pretty 'lift-bridges' which characterise the South Oxford Canal. There are canalside villages and pubs and many varied opportunities to safely moor the boat and take a picnic or barbecue onto the towpath alongside.
