Skipton
Canal trips in Skipton on the Leeds and Liverpool canal and day boat hire.
A canal boat trip on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal must be one of the nicest ways to spend an hour or more. What could be lovelier than sitting aboard a narrow boat, smoothly gliding through the calm waters of Britain’s longest canal, enjoying stunning scenery and spotting inspiring wildlife?
Pennine Boat Trips offers a range of options for individuals, small parties and larger groups and also provides special packages for business meetings, product launches, staff parties, wedding receptions, birthday and anniversary parties - and lots more. And has seasonally-themed trips for occasions such as Halloween and Christmas. Small parties can hire their own well-equipped boat for the day and travel at their own pace. Or there are public cruises with commentary provided by the skipper.
Pennine Boat Trips is based in Skipton, a very attractive market town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the canal wends its way through some of the Park’s prettiest countryside.
