More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
SCHOOL TRIPS
The Grand Union Canal, on which we travel, was built over two hundred years ago to service the Industrial Revolution. Although it is used today mainly for leisure activities, Stoke Bruerne is one of the best places on the canals to capture the atmosphere of the past. Loaded working boats are frequently seen at Stoke Bruerne, and the Canal Museum is unsurpassed as a source of information on the lives of the working boatmen.
Our trips will take you just inside the entrance of Blisworth Tunnel, which is nearly two miles long. This will enable you to appreciate the methods of construction and the enormity of the task facing the navvies who built it in the 18th century.
Booking Information
'Charlie' our caanal boat seats up to 26 passengers at a time.
