Canals are one of the quietest, most laid-back places to unwind from the stresses of modern life.
Hiring a narrowboat is one way to go, and there are canoes, coracles, bikes, canalside camping, hotels, B&Bs, waterside inns, historic rental cottages, working volunteer holidays and loads more inventive ways to enjoy a special break ~ or simply pull on your boots and go for a walk.
