Canal Boat Holiday Base Information - Base 45 on the Grand Union Canal

Location

Base 45 is situated a short cruise from Braunston, the heart of the Midlands canal system. Stockton Marina offers a wide range of cruising and is ideally placed for the Warwickshire Ring, a great one week cruise. You can also wind steadily down the South Oxford Canal, or wander round to the North Oxford, and up on to the lock-free Ashby canal.

Alternatively take a leisurely trip to Warwick and back, and visit Warwick Castle, one of the best castles in the country. If you are looking for the ultimate cruise try the Thames Ring, a fabulous trip down to London and back.

The base is run by one of the UK's leading operators with a wide range of boats offering short break canal holidays, one week trips and longer.
