I was just going to put this on, so thanks Annie,
I knew you would love it.
Did you see anywhere you knew.
I only know the Erewash Canal.


Please remind me when the programme comes on.

Interesting, we don't have anything like that in the south east tha22222

Didn't include ours, we have the Leeds and Liverpool, although, we once had a narrowboat holiday and went up the Llangollen canal, which was great.

Our canal was built to transport cotton and coal & other goods , between Liverpool & Leeds. In Burnley, our 2 main industries were Weaving, Spinning and Coal Mining right up until the 1970s

You have the Broads Mo, I would love to try those out!!!!

I love being on the water whether it is sea, river or canal, I find it really calming

Yes we have the broads Annie and very nice they are too, you can go miles and miles on the water.

there is a canal in Norfolk,
North Walsham & Dilham Canal

not sure how many more there are, if any.

I have had loads of holidays on the Norfolk broads, but since living here for over 50 years, I always go to the seaside.

Being on the water is amazing. I agree Annie no where better to relax.

canals are my favourite but I used to enjoy sailing too.

Don't know how I would have managed without the canal and my boating. I have been so lucky with that

Foxton locks is 40 mins from where i live or 3 days by boat!!!!

Fantastic place to visit

I do love being beside water, wish I lived nearer to water. Had two holidays on the Norfolk Broads and thoroughly enjoyed them. go90 tha22222
