See & do
Whether you’re the adventurous type and hanker towards more energetic past times or you’re more at home in the pub with your favourite pint, our canals and rivers have something to offer.
Boats make our waterways unique but if you haven’t got a boat there's still plenty to explore on and around our waterways. You can take to the water in a canoe, cycle or walk along our towpaths, find a pub or, if you’re after a bit of culture, visit a museum. Read More
You can use the information on these pages as a way to plan your time on the canals and rivers. Whether you’re looking for an interesting way to spend an afternoon locally or you’re planning where to go on your next holiday – we’ve got it covered.
