One of our friends is a UK expat living in NJ. He mentioned to us that he used to do what is known as "narrowboating" in the midlands. There are apparently 2000 miles of navigable canals in the UK, some of which are architectural/engineering marves, and most of them go through what appears to be lovely countryside. He said that it was a lot of fun to rent a boat (including galley, head, shower, etc.) and travel the canals on vacation. There's even a CAMRA guide to the pubs along the main canal routes.
Anyone tried this? I was thinking it might make a really nice vacation for DW, the two kiddos and I next year. Heres a link to a company that rents the boats: http://www.countrywide-cruisers.com/2page.html
