The Boatyard is in the middle of a 12 mile stretch of canal between locks at Wigan and Wheelton. Although our boats are not permitted to go through the locks, the canal meanders through beautiful Lancashire countryside with plenty of places to stop and things to do to fulfil a full days hire including pubs and playgrounds.

Just to let you know that from 1st January 2025 we will only be operating our blue boat Mirlees. Ruston and Crossley are heading into retirement and a more relaxed life with new private owners.
Please bear this is mind when checking availability and ensure you book early to avoid disappointment.
