FARAWAY HOTEL WALES ......


TO MANY people, the word canal conjures up a vision of a grimy s tr ip o f water running behind high walls a n d th r o u g h d i su s e d factories and warehouses. TTiose who take their holi­


days on the canals every year know that this picture if far from the truth. Nearly all the canals ih


750 miles, encompassing bustling resorts, peaceful fishing villages, ■ marvellous beaches, quiet bays, remote headlands — a land of unspoilt and dramatic scenery'.


The shoreline stretches for


Englan d and Wales are tot^ly rural’. Because they have been there for so long — the f ir s t part of the present system was opened over 200 years ago — they have become part of the landscape, as they wind in and o u t o f tow n s and villages. The canal and river system


has nearly 1,500 miles of connected waterways. In North-West England alone there is more canal mileage than water on the whole of the Norfolk Broads. From L e e d s to L la n g o l le n , Manchester to Macclesfield or Blackburn to Banbury, the trips that can be done are endless in their variety. There arc circular routes


too — the recent opening of the Cheshire ring of canals


linking Manchester, North- w ic h , S to k e -o n -T r e n t , Macclesfield and. then back to Manchester again, makes a wonderful week's holiday,


covering both the centre o f a great city and the wildest regions of the Peak District. Nearly all the boats which


are used for holiday hire on the canals are derived from the original working narrow b o a t s . E v e r y mode rn comfort will be found on board — fridges, cookers, hot and cold water, flush to ile ts , showers and even central heating on many boats. Reliable diesel engines are


used. Hire charges vary according to the season, those for a four-berth boat starting at about £75 per week up to £180 during peak weeks.
