Llangollen Canal Boat Holidays

Hoseasons can offer a range of boat holidays along the magnificent Llangollen Canal. Boat holidays on this stretch of the UK canal network are a brilliant way to see parts of Wales as well as Shropshire. The scenery that the Llangollen Canal winds through is simply breathtaking, lush pastures combine with imposing mountains on the horizon to create a landscape of contrasts. Boat holidays along the Llangollen Canal should almost certainly involve travelling across two of the most spectacular aqueducts anywhere in the country. Chirk Aqueduct is over seventy foot high and seven hundred foot long, its masonry exterior belies its cast iron structure. In addition there is the awe inspiring Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Built to span the Dee Valley and sitting at a height of 126 feet this monument to engineering is now a World Heritage Site.

Boat Hire on the Llangollen Canal

Hoseasons have a number of different boat hire locations along the Llangollen Canal. There are start points in Whittington, Wrenbury and Wolverhampton that also incorporate the Shropshire Union Canal and the Mersey Canal. Our variety of boat hire options includes narrowboats of various sizes from 2 to 10 births, suitable for large groups, couples and families. Boat hire is not simply a way to see stunning parts of the English and Welsh countryside but a brilliant holiday idea to relax and enjoy time on the water.

Llangollen Canal


Fabulously beautiful scenery and the most spectacular waterway wonder of them all – a canal boat holiday on the glorious Llangollen Canal promises unforgettable drama and adventure.

Starting your holiday on the English side, your canal boat journey carries you through lush, green pasture against a distant backdrop of purple Welsh hills, before entering the region known as the 'Shropshire Lake District', a haven for wildlife that surrounds Ellesmere.

Crossing high above the sparkling River Ceiriog, the canal passes over the splendid 70ft high Chirk Aqueduct before plunging into a long tunnel and continuing on to romantic 600 year old Chirk Castle, where you'll be able to moor your canal boat. Winding its scenic way on through hills and ancient woodland, the canal then confronts you with the most exhilarating of the seven wonders of the waterways … the incredible, dizzying, majestic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a 1000ft long iron trough that carries the canal a soaring 127 feet above the River Dee valley.

Taking your canal boat beyond Pontcysyllte, you'll discover that the waterway narrows as the landscape gives way to limestone cliffs until you reach Llangollen, home to the beautiful Horseshoe Falls and the final stage of your exciting boating holiday adventure.
