The waterways of Cheshire are not only an attractive and relaxing place to be, they also offer the chance to enjoy sites of historic interest, heritage and culture. Those who want to put less effort into seeing the beautiful Cheshire landscapes, can cruise on the waterways - there are more miles of canals here than in any other English county.
Both the Macclesfield Canal and Trent & Mersey Canal run through Congleton Borough. These unique UK waterways offer superb canal holidays and canal boat hire on comfortable traditional narrowboats. UK waterways canal holidays are unique and from a slow canal boat you can really appreciate all you see - a remarkable and unforgettable way to experience Britain.

Why not hire a dayboat for the day to meander the local canals? It's a perfect day out for all the family and a great way to relax as you cruise the Cheshire Canals! Bring a picnic or stop off at one of the local canalside pubs along the way!
