Welcome to Coolcanals Guides
We think we know some of the best-kept secrets of Britain's inland waterways.
We're totally independent, travelling the canals by boat, bike and boot from the sands of Cornwall to the Highlands of Scotland.
Our online guide offers information and a user-friendly directory to help you plan your own leisure time, with activities from boating to canalside festivals.
Everything you need for waterways holidays, weekends and days out.
And from the fruits of our own travels around the waterways, we also write guidebooks >>

Unwind from the stresses of modern life.
Canals are Britain at its quietest and most laid-back. 2000 miles of waterways with their own history, culture, architecture and people - as different as any far-off place.
It's a destination. A linear destination, with endless ways to explore and enjoy leisure time on the water and canalside.
Hiring a narrowboat is one way to go, then there are canoes, coracles, bikes, canalside camping, hotels, B&Bs, waterside inns, historic rental cottages, working volunteer holidays and loads more inventive ways to enjoy a special break - or simply pull on your boots and go for a walk.
