Welcome to
Canal Boat Escapes
We are a family run narrowboat holiday hire
company operating four canal boats based on the
Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Barnoldswick, close to the
Lancashire and Yorkshire borders.
We
offer an unrivalled location for a stunning cruise towards Skipton and the
Bingley 5-Rise locks or through the industrial heritage of the Pendle
valley or a
one-way trip to/from Hebden Bridge.
The Leeds Liverpool Canal remains a
hidden gem of the waterways and an ideal spot for canal boat hire. The splendid undulating moorland
spreads all around as the canal twists along the contours of the hillside
and offers stunning views of the rugged Pennine landscape.
