Cycle Hire

If you want to rent a bicycle for your holiday we can recommend  Off the Rails, a Green Tourism Business.

Simply call with your requirements. They then bring bikes to you on the morning that you want them so you can pedal away after a hearty breakfast.

All the bikes are fully maintained and thoroughly clean and tidy - they sparkle - each bike even has its own name!

We provide route maps, helmets, mudguards, pumps, puncture-resistant tyres and bike locks which are all included in the price.

Recommended Cycle Routes

Lancaster to Glasson Dock (for guests on the Lancaster Canal)

Pendle Grand Cycle Tour (for guests on the Leeds Liverpool Canal)

Food and Vegetables

Sadly, at the end of 2011 Steve, Organix Experience has had to close his wonderful organic vegetable box scheme.  We are currently seeking an alternative supplier.  Please bear with us; it's finding a supplier that can commit to delivering.

There is also an accessible, thriving local town including a small Co-operative where most of your goods could likely be purchased.

Activities around the Canal

We have a range of excellent car-free activities listed on the boats. We can also help you with planning cycle routes and days off your boat.

Bus and train information is provided.
