Anglo Welsh Waterway Holidays

About

Anglo Welsh has been providing quality narrowboat holidays for 60 years. We offer the choice of 125 boats for hire from eight bases across England and Wales, including Trevor. Boats range in size from cosy narrowboats for two, all the way up to boats for up to twelve people. Choose from three night weekend breaks, four-night mid-week holidays, week-long or two-week cruises.

Our canal boat hire base at Trevor is next to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the Llangollen Canal 38 metres high above the River Dee. In 2009, the Aqueduct was granted UNESCO World Heritage status, putting it on a par with the Taj Mahal and the Egyptian pyramids! It's part of a breathtaking 11-mile stretch of the Llangollen designated a World Heritage site. This section runs from Gledrid Bridge near Rhoswiel, to the Horseshoe Falls in Llantysilio, on the River Dee.

From Trevor you can hire a self-drive canal boat and cross the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct for the experience of a lifetime. On a short break you can continue on to Ellesmere, in the heart of the Shropshire Lake District, or head back to Llangollen. On a week's holiday, you can cruise on along the Llangollen Canal to Whitchurch, Wrenbury or Barbridge. On a two-week break, you can navigate the Four Counties or Cheshire ring.

You don't need a licence to drive a canal boat and tuition is included. 2027 short break (3 or 4 nights) prices on a boat for two people start at £770, £1,045 for a week.

From Trevor, we also offer self-drive day boat hire, with prices starting at £155 per day for a boat for up to 10 people during the week, and £199 on weekends and bank holidays. Tuition is included.

If you prefer to sit back and enjoy the view and let someone else drive, we also offer regular skippered cruises across the Aqueduct aboard our trip boat 'Little Star' ('Seren Fach'). Tickets can be booked online at Little Star Booking | Anglo Welsh Ltd.
