Normally cruises aboard Lizzie-Jean start from Skipton Canal Basin and go northwest towards Gargrave and return, though, if preferred, we can go southwards through Bradley towards Farnhill/Kildwick and return. Farnhill Wood is full of bluebells and looks stunning in Spring. Pub lunches are available in Snaygill, Bradley and Kildwick.
When we get near Gargrave there is usually time for a walk into the village to visit the famous Dalesman Sweet Shop/Cafe or try out the stepping stones across the River Aire. On the longer Saturday/Bank Holiday cruises you will be able to help take Lizzie-Jean up and down Holme Bridge Lock just outside Gargrave.
Cruises for Hotel Guests
For the convenience of guests staying at either the Rendezvous Hotel (Snaygill) or Herriot's Hotel (near Skipton Train Station) cruises aboard Lizzie-Jean can start from the designated mooring areas behind each hotel.
Boating Tuition Cruises
These cruise days provide tailor-made, hands-on experience of canal boating designed specifically for intending boat hirers. Come and try your hand at steering, mooring, locking and winding with Lizzie-Jean's experienced skipper(a former teacher and adult trainer). Each day is individually designed so please 'phone David Fitch to discuss your specific requirements (Click here for 'Contact' details).
Note: Due to canal restrictions imposed by BW from 2nd August these tuition cruises are suspended until further notice. Sorry for any disappointment.
