Willow - 4 berth narrowboat
A 45ft 4 berth narrowboat, suitable for small families or a small group of friends.
- Sleeps 2 to 4
- Pet friendly
- 1 shower
- Departure Point Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire
Willow is a comfortable, 4 berth holiday boat which has a separate bedroom with two singles. These can also be converted into a double. Another double can be made up from the settee in the spacious living room.
A canal holiday on Willow starts in Leighton Buzzard, the perfect base for a tranquil holiday along the Grand Union Canal. A short break could lead you to the popular canal museum in Stoke Bruerne or to the Tring Reservoirs. The latter is especially popular with birdwatchers and everyone interested in the teeming wildlife there.
A longer canal boat holiday could lead you to the historic city of Oxford or even around the Thames Ring.
If Willow is not available for your preferred holiday dates, then why not take a look at Bullrush, which is identical to Willow.
