Canal Holidays - One Way Routes

Some routes are offered as one-way, where the boat is collected at one base and returned to another. Arrangements are made to transport the crew in the opposite direction. As these routes are operated by boats doing a shuttle from one end to the other, the direction of travel depends on previous bookings and is not known until a week before travel.

Relatively few boats operate one-way routes, so early booking is advised.
