Photography on your canal holiday:
Taking a canal boat holiday with us provides photographers a great opportunity to take some really great photographs.
Firstly, because you are in a naturally beautiful environment, there is no additional car travel needed to reach a good spot to take a photo. We all know that early morning is one of the great times for photographs.
On a canal boat you can get out of bed open the door and be taking stunning early morning wildlife shots while still in your slippers. Similarly, on a summer evening you can wait for the magical late sunshine in a beautiful location without having to think about a long drive home. Having a canal boat at your disposal really is a photographers paradise.

How to operate locks on your canal holiday:
In the UK just about every inland waterway will have some type of lock and this adds to the fun of travelling on your canal boat holidays. Locks are devices for raising and lowering boats between stretches of water on the canals. All locks are different and require different ways of operating them.
