Anglo Welsh Waterway Holidays

About

Anglo Welsh has been providing quality narrowboat holidays for over 55 years.  The company offers the choice of 160 boats for hire from 11 bases across England and Wales.  Boats range in size from cosy narrowboats for two, all the way up to boats for up to twelve people.  Choose from three-night weekend breaks, four-night mid-week holidays, week-long or multi-week cruises.

Situated right on the doorstep of Anglo Welsh's picturesque base at Trevor, is the awesome Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the Llangollen Canal 126ft high above the River Dee.  Also known as 'The Stream in the Sky', the Aqueduct was granted World Heritage status in June 2009, putting it on a par with the Taj Mahal and the Pyramids! It towers above the heart of this breathtaking 11-mile long site, stretching from Gledrid Bridge near Rhoswiel, to the Horseshoe Falls in Llantysilio, on the River Dee, and offers truly spectacular views.

From Anglo Welsh's narrowboat hire base at Trevor, you can hire a self-drive canal boat and cross the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct for the experience of a lifetime.  On a short break you can continue on to Ellesmere, in the heart of the Shropshire Lake District, or head back to Llangollen.  On a week's holiday, you can cruise on along the Llangollen Canal to Whitchurch, Wrenbury or Barbridge.  On a two-week break, you can navigate the Four Counties or Cheshire ring. You don't need a licence to drive a canal boat and tuition is included.

From Trevor, Anglo Welsh also offers self-drive day boat hire, with prices starting at £120 per day for a boat for up to 10 people. Tuition is included.

For those who prefer to sit back and enjoy the view and let someone else drive, Anglo Welsh also offers regular skippered cruises across the Aqueduct aboard its trip boat 'Little Star' ('Seren Fach').
