Along the Towpath
One of the joys of a voyage of exploration aboard a hotel barge is that your vessel is only a few feet from the towpath, with the opportunity to step off and stretch your legs whenever you wish. Perhaps a brief afternoon stroll is in order after an indulgent lunch, or a further investigation of the idyllic countryside on one of the bicycles provided. In any case there is often the chance to hop off and explore those unique canal side locations that you simply wouldn't encounter anywhere else!
‘A Bicycle Made for You’ Every vessel in our fleet carries easy to ride, all-terrain bicycles with helmets for use throughout your stay. Our crew members are there to offload them at the next lock, or at one of the barge moorings and to make any adjustments to each bicycle to suit the rider. We can also provide children’s bicycles for family groups, or tandems for the romantics amongst you. Then you are free to set off along the towpath.
Biking Charters For more committed cyclists, we can offer biking charters for groups over longer distances on upgraded bikes, with half-day guided itineraries that make the best of the local area each day, perhaps including a picnic in the countryside. If the idea of a little pedalling appeals, our reservations team can advise you on the biking opportunities for each cruise itinerary.
