We are Ducklings Narrowboat Hire, a small family business offering self drive Narrowboat holidays on the Lancaster Canal in Lancashire. We currently have one Narrowboat for hire which sleeps up to 4 people, in addition we happily welcome up to 2 dogs on board. Duckling's interior has been completely renovated by ourselves and a local Narrowboat expert providing a little bit of floating luxury. We

welcome any questions via this page, email, phone or through our website and if you prefer you can visit us in person at Tewitfield marina. Not far from Carnforth, Tewitfield marina sits at the Northern end of the Lancaster canal which begins at Ashton basin in Preston. The Lancaster canal offers 40 miles of lock free cruising. Winding through fantastic countryside the canal provides excellent scenery and a plethora of photo opportunities, on route you will find many beautiful villages and towns complete with stunning mooring locations along with the historic cities of Preston and Lancaster. We operate throughout the year giving you the opportunity to experience the beauty of the canal with the changing seasons. Our boat is fully heated so even in the colder months you can cosy up inside or wrap up warm and explore the surrounding areas.

Relieved to here this- the CRT is acknowledging that it is not safe to cruise on the Lancaster ca**l and is allowing people to choose to stay put wherever they are.

It has been such a difficult decision for us to make, to pause cruising. Bluebell Narrowboat Holidays is our livelihood. We send out a special huge thank you to our guests for being supportive and understanding at this time. Hope for rain!!

πŸ’™ Throwback to 7 years ago when we decided to start our business!

😲 We found ourselves in our 50's, selling up, moving accross country, buying our first Narrowboat and stripping it back to the shell, ready to realise our dream!!

⚾️ I'd like to say it was 'plain sailing' from here but life sometimes throws you a few curve balls!

😬 Add a couple of heart attacks, seizures, a brain tumour and a world wide pandemic to the mix and you can imagine things were a bit 'choppy' at times!

🌞 BUT, we are still here, pushing on, growing our little business, improving our offering, pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones, learning new things, meeting some lovely humans and helping people experience the beautiful Lancaster ca**l by Narrowboat!

❀ We love the community here and have met some lovely people, many have gone above and beyond to help us and kept us relatively sane! We hope they know they are appreciated πŸ’™

🐟 'Just keep swimming'

A walk we did often before lockdown- From Tewitfield marina up the 8 disused locks to where the motorway was built accross the Lancaster ca**l, its a good walk and you can go under the motorway, rejoin the ca**l and walk all the way to Kendal! Some parts of the ca**l, beyond the motorway, have started being rebuilt, the long term plan was to reconnect the Ca**l to Kendal. You can find out more at https://www.lctrust.co.uk/
