Countryside Cruising & City Possibilities

Set your own pace as you glide through leafy countryside and historic canal towns. As boating is only permitted between dawn and dusk, how far you travel each day depends on daylight hours and river conditions, so treat any route as a guide rather than a guarantee. A 3 or 4-night hire suits exploring the Severn and Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canals around Stourport, Kidderminster and Droitwich, while a 7-night hire gives the flexibility to venture further, with Birmingham's canal network a possible highlight for those keen to reach the city.

Boats Available

Facilities include a fully equipped kitchen with fridge & oven, lounge/dining area, beds for up to 12 (varies by boat), onboard bathroom, cruising instructions on arrival, and select pet-friendly options.

Area

You'll set off from Stourport, departing for your three, four or seven-night hire along the River Severn and the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canals. As cruising is only possible between dawn and dusk, distances covered will vary by season and daylight hours. Suggested routes: The Droitwich Ring, with 34 canal and river locks; The River Avon, past country estates, old churches and watermills; or Stourport to Tewkesbury on The River Severn – Great Britain's longest river. All aboard!

Worcestershire & Beyond Highlights

  • Riverside pubs and historic villages around Stourport and Kidderminster
  • The historic canal town of Droitwich Spa
  • Country estates, old churches and watermills along the River Avon
  • With a full week aboard, consider mooring in central Birmingham for the Bullring & Grand Central, or dining at Brindleyplace or Mailbox
