Boat Trips On The Lancaster Canal
The Lancaster Canal Trust extends a cordial invitation to visitors and local residents alike to come aboard their trip boat "Waterwitch" and enjoy a short cruise along the lovely Northern Reaches of this famous and historic waterway.
"Waterwitch" is a traditionally designed 28ft narrowboat. She is based at Crooklands bridge 5 miles south of Kendal just off the A65. The boat is crewed by a team of experienced volunteers who are all members of the Lancaster Canal Trust.
Although the trips are entirely free we ask for donations to help further the Trust's work.
