| The first impression when you step on board an Alvechurch boat is of space and light. For people who have not been on a boat before, or have been on boats other than ours, the interior comes as a surprise. In fact, a succession of pleasant surprises awaits you. (Click here for a virtual tour of a Thrush class boat)
Central heating, running hot and cold water to the shower, basin and sink (2 showers and basins on the larger boats of course). Flushing toilets. Full cooking facilities and fridges, TV, radio and an inventory of equipment that seems never ending. The controls are as simple as can be - start/stop, forward/reverse, left/right. A child could drive one of our boats - in fact, under supervision, they often do.
We are delighted to show you around our boats so please feel free to come and visit us. Although appointments are not necessary, you should ring the base first to ensure they are open and boats are available to view. Alvechurch:

You can find more information about access for all by following this link. A civilised adventure On a narrowboat, you are welcomed as part of the scenery, rather than just another tourist. Your whole holiday is at walking pace, there's time to savour the scenery, talk to people and get in touch with a more social type of lifestyle. Put the world behind you and set off up the canal. Free at last. Stop when you feel like it. Get up when you feel like it and above all go where you want to go. Give us a call and make this the year you escape to the real England.

When you unpack you'll find
we have anticipated your storage needs, with plenty of wardrobes and
drawer space, but it's when you start to live on board that our boats
come into their own. (To make best use of storage, we recommend you
use soft bags rather than large suitcases, as these are much easier
to store on the boat during your cruise). 
All
our boats are Tourist Board inspected and given a Visit Britain star
rating each year so you can be assured that the highest standards are
maintained.
