If you’re dreaming of a holiday that lets you slow down, reconnect with nature, and explore the hidden gems of the English countryside — a narrowboat holiday with Grand Union Narrowboats is just what you need. And with 2026 just around the corner, now is the perfect time to plan ahead and secure your spot on the water!
🌿 Why Choose a Narrowboat Holiday?
A canal boat holiday is like no other. Forget the airport queues and traffic jams — your journey begins the moment you step aboard. Cruising along the peaceful waters of the Grand Union Canal or Oxford Canal, you’ll discover a side of England few ever see.
Wake up to birdsong, cruise past rolling fields and historic bridges, stop off at quaint canal-side pubs, and fall asleep to the gentle lapping of water against the hull. It’s not just a holiday — it’s a lifestyle.
