Sometimes the only way to understand why we love our canals and tunnels so much is to take to the water on one of our boat trips.
Standedge Visitor Centre
Boat trip notice - November 2018
Our bit of canal is closed for a bit of TLC this November, so our popular boat trips won’t be running from 5 of November until further notice. But if you've already bought Stray FM vouchers, don't worry - you'll be OK to use them after 6 January 2019 when our boat trips are running again.
30 minute boat trips – the short one
If our special full trips through the UK’s longest canal tunnel don't float your boat – but you still fancy having a bit of a nose, you can get on board with one of our regular short 30 minute trips into the tunnel.
Monday and Friday
First one is at 12noon, 1.00pm, 2.00pm and last one 3.00pm.
Saturday and Sunday
First one is at 11.00am, 12noon, 1.00pm, 2.00pm, 3.00pm and last one 4.00pm.
There’s always one of our entertaining guides around, who’ll thrill you with tales of the folk who designed, built and worked in the tunnel.
