The charity making life better by water

Notices and stoppages

If you're planning a boat journey, or going for a walk or ride along our towpaths, it's a good idea to check if there are any closures or works affecting your route before you leave home.

We are excited to announce that we are making some enhancements to our stoppages and notices pages. These updates are designed to improve your experience and provide you with an even better service.  Changes to the notice types will be made on the 6 of May. Please see the boaters update for more information.

Booking passage

To travel through some tunnels, bridges and locks you will need to book passage in advance. This might be because of unexpected events, such as an unplanned stoppage, or because boat passage needs to coincide with tide times.
