Category: Boating on the British Rivers and Canals
-
The rest of the story (so far) of our explorations of the canals and rivers of England and Wales. We will be back!

The history of the canals of Britain is an important but less-known aspect of the Industrial Revolution. Narrowboats once moved goods and raw materials to markets all over the country. Today, there are still a few freight and other businesses plying the waters, but mainly they are tourist rentals and liveaboards.

This is the story of how we came to love spending time on the waterways of Britain. Part one starts with our first trip on a “big pig” on the Thames, and goes on to describe the first trips on narrowboats.
