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, later became one of Britains 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 on the first Saturday of every month throughout the summer. 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.
Tarporley canal trips will be resuming in the New Year, please check back then for more details.
