Attraction Overview

Trinity Boats have built a range of stunning narrow boats that epitomise the charm of famous canals that traverse the Midlands and were an essential way to transport goods in bygone eras of old, but now offer the perfect getaway from the travails and pressures of modern day life.

Immersed in perfect landscapes and enjoying home-by-home top quality luxury on-board, a trip with Trinity Boats offers fantastic memories. Choose a boat from the selection - Bluebell, Buttercup, Daisy, Foxglove, Poppy, Sunflower and Tulip - and plan your fascinating break.

Admire the carefully painted and crafted exterior and interiors of the boats as you cruise down the canal. There are short break suggestions that are a real treat - to the heart of Birmingham, a sojourn to Lapworth or Stratford-upon-Avon or maybe the ultimate 10-day or two week holiday through Bancroft Basin in Shakespeare's Stratford, down the River Avon with its panoramic views to the medieval magic of Tewkesbury and savour the delights of Worcester with its iconic cathedral, county cricket and charming independent shops. Tunnels, locks and tree-lined scenery juxtaposes with open meadows, ancient architecture and old fashioned pubs and much more, to provide the most enthralling, entrancing of journeys!

Be sure to explore...

  • The Stourport Ring - 74 miles, 118 locks and 44 cruising hours through Cosely, Wolverhampton and to the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal
  • 'The Stairway to Heaven' - the flight of 11 locks into Atherstone on the amazing Warwickshire Ring route
  • A awe-inspiring trip to Birmingham Gas Street Basin, through Hopwood, King's Norton and passing Cadbury World!
  • Romantic, cosy dinners on-board set against a backdrop of sleepy but paradisical scenery
