Calcutt Boats have been building, hiring and maintaining boats for over 25 years. The company provide canal boat hire in Stockton, Warwickshire. The British canal system is totally unique and it stands alone in offering wonderful opportunities for leisure and relaxation.

Boats and their interiors have evolved over the years to include such features as flexible berthing; no more than two to a cabin, and doors between them for added privacy. Proper flushing toilets; showers with decent water pressure and constant temperature; and even full size ovens fit for a Christmas turkey! Highly varnished ash and oak side panels and white ceilings also give a light and airy interior. Extra insulation and comprehensive heating cuts down on condensation and makes boats good for all-weather cruising.

From The Company's base at Napton Junction, where the Grand Union and Oxford Canals meet, a web of waterways spreads out towards all four points of the compass. It is an ideal starting point for a voyage of true discovery, and one, which leaves you, spoilt for choice.

Details

Things to do: The South Oxford Canal One of the finest rural waterways in Britain, passing through consistently beautiful countryside as it follows its restful route to the Thames. Climbing the famous Napton Locks the traveller reaches the remote and winding summit, with stunning views over rich Warwickshire farmland. At Claydon the Canal starts its descent to Oxford, passing through historic Cropredy and then to Banbury to join the river Cherwell. Adopting not only its route but also some of its flavour the waterway glides gracefully through the Cotswolds to the Thames. Towards Oxford and return: 1 week
