Uk Canal Boat Trip - The Perfect Family Vacation

Описание: Our first time on a 60ft Canal Boat with 3 of my sons (aged from 14 to 23) could have been a disaster (particularly with the English Autumn weather) but it turned in to one of ours and theirs favorite holidays.
From learning how to steer and take care of the boat to opening and navigating 200 year old locks we all had a fantastic time.
Getting to see some beautiful scenery and wonderful villages all at no more than 5 miles per hour was a truly relaxing and memorable experience.
The journey from Gayton Marina to Warwick (and back) takes 7 days and involves 76 locks but we decided to stop short of Warwick so we could spend a day seeing the Castle (and save ourselves a lot of locks!)
Dozens of charming historical buildings, fantastic bridges not to mention amazing pubs and hearty food made for an unforgettable experience.

We are Richard and Jane, I’m originally from Yorkshire but lived in Tuscany, Italy for 15 years before moving to Georgia to marry Jane (a Georgia native) 10 years ago. I’ve always been a builder and a DJ (?!) and Jane is a retired lawyer. We love to share our travel experiences and everyday adventures as an older couple, we hope you enjoy this video, hopefully, the first of many.
