The waterways of Cheshire Peak District are not only an attractive and relaxing place to be, they also offer the chance to enjoy sites of historic interest, heritage and culture.
Those who want to put less effort into seeing the beautiful Cheshire landscapes,
can cruise on the waterways. You will not only see working locks, massive mills and the powerful waterwheels that drove them, but also a plethora of wildflowers and birds which now make their home amid the seclusion of these now-peaceful waterways. These unique waterways offer superb canal holidays and canal boat hire on comfortable traditional narrowboats. There are plenty of places to stop for some well-earned refreshment at one of the canal side pubs!
