The gentle rhythm of cruising along canals, with serene landscapes and wildlife all around, is incredibly calming.

There are numerous walking and cycling routes where you can explore at your leisure.

On your second day you will reach the Blisworth tunnel, after passing through you arrive in Stoke Bruerne. If you are new to lock’s moor up here. We will meet you before the locks and take you through all you need to know and accompany you through the first few locks until you are happy.
