March madness on UK narrowboat holidays

10th February 2010 Print

‘March Madness’ – offering a 20% discount on a selection of narrowboat holidays taken during March - is the fantastic deal available with specialist boating holiday agency, Waterways Holidays.

For example, a couple can enjoy a week’s holiday on board ‘Silver Lynx’ - a 48ft narrowboat sleeping two which is available from the Bunbury base in Cheshire – ideal for visiting the ancient walled city of Chester – for just £412 (saving £103).

In addition to Chester, other highlights along this route include Beeston Castle and Ellesmere Port – the home of the boat museum.  There are also alternative routes from Bunbury – through lovely countryside – cruising along the Middlewich Branch, the Llangollen Canal or the Shropshire Union Canal.

Or discover the city of Bath – a World Heritage Site with its Roman Baths & Pump Room and the Georgian architecture of the Royal Crescent - as well as taking in its many museums, galleries and gardens.  Cruising along the picturesque Kennet and Avon canal, other options include Bathampton, the Claverton Pumping Station and the Dundas and Avoncliffe Aqueducts.

With the above offer, a week’s holiday on board ‘Golden Oriole’ – a 65ft narrowboat sleeping four available from Bath - now costs £516 (saving £129).

Prices quoted are valid for the weeks commencing 6 and 13 March and include all fuels used (diesel and gas) car parking, bed linen and towels. In addition, one well behaved pet is welcome free of charge, with the additional cost for a second pet being £25.
