The North West of England and Wales
have an extensive network of navigations, originally
built to service the Industrial Revolution but now
reborn as routes for leisure boating. |
|
Many of the APCO members
have hire boat bases serving the Llangollen Canal, and
the nearby Shropshire Union and Trent & Mersey Canals.
These very popular routes are ideal for first timer
boaters, with magnificent countryside, plenty of boating
facilities and a wide choice of companies and boats.
|
|
Two of the wonders of the
waterways can be experienced; the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct-
which has recently been short listed as a World Heritage
site- and the oldest boat lift in the world at Anderton,
linking the River Weaver with the Trent and Mersey
Canal. |
|
Wales also has the
stunningly beautiful Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal,
near Abergavenny, with a range of bases to choose from. |
|
The
links bottom right to waterway maps and route planning may
assist you in choosing the most appropriate route,
waterway and company. |
|
APCO members offer a
large number of bases, routes and boats to choose from. |
