Tarporley Canal Trips

A trip with a difference! When you take a trip along the Regents Canal on historic narrow boat Tarporley, you don't just have to sit and watch the scenery go by - you can explore the boat and help work the locks too if you're feeling energetic.

We take a maximum of twelve passengers, and crew members are always on hand to answer any questions. Tarporley was built in 1937 for the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company and later became one of Britain's first community narrow boats, and now has a permanent mooring at Kings Place.

The Camden Canals and Narrowboat Association, who run Tarporley, are offering short trips in association with our special Family Weekend. We will take you through the Islington Tunnel and you will get the chance to see first hand how a lock operates as we make our way to City Road Basin and back again.

Life jackets are provided for children and adults who require them.

Boat Trips are taking place throughout the Kings Place Festival 2010, September 9 - 12
