The gorgeous Llangollen Canal flows past the fantastic site boasted by Maestermyn Cruisers at Whittington in Shropshire. Shropshire Union Canal lies nearby, and the Unesco World Heritage Site that is Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is also within easy reach.

These charming narrowboats are well set up to further your enjoyment of your time in this unique part of the country. The boats on offer can cater equally well to couples looking for a romantic break and to families or large parties numbering up to 9.

The site itself also features a friendly pub and restaurant to make sure you're well looked after. A great range of cruising routes spread forth from this area, with potential destinations including Llangollen, Grindley Brook and Chester among others.

The lush English countryside surrounds you throughout this area, and the charming towns and villages provide some enjoyable respite in between your cruising, a lovely way to spend a break in the UK.

"This was a completely different kind of holiday experience for us. We saw the UK from a different point of view."

"The staff at Maestermyn were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. I really felt that they wanted us to have a great time, not just get us on the boat and out of the moorings. Once you have mastered the controls there is nothing like the peace and tranquility of a canal boat holiday. Everyone you meet on the water has a friendly smile and everyone helps each other, if you get in a mess, someone on the next boat is there with a push or piece of advice. The holiday was without doubt the most social holiday we have had, we met 2 fantastic families who despite only knowing for days will be friends forever. We were worried our 9 and 11 year old girls would tire of the lack of theme park style excitment, on the contrary, they loved the peace, the animals and the pubs and restaurants we stopped at and raiding the shops everytime we stopped to stock up with provisions. A great family holiday! "
