When you think of canals you tend to picture Holland with its vast waterways, however you can find plenty of Canals closer to home in the UK. In fact there are over 100 canals that are fully functional throughout the United Kingdom and this means you are never far to set of on your new adventure. That is why you should really pay attention when you see narrowboat hire and narrowboat holidays.
History
Canals were used in the industrial revolution of the 1800’s as a means to transport goods from one location to another. This was mainly due to the roads not being smooth enough to prevent any fragile goods from getting damaged in transition. In the present era, canals and canal boats are very rarely used as a means of a transportation of goods. Instead they are used as a recreation and/hobby. It is a very relaxing recreation which allows you to take in of the sites and scenery that Great Britain has to offer. Over the past few years you will start to see more and more canal narrowboat hire and narrowboat holidays.
