Can I still enjoy a boating holiday from Braunston?      Yes, you can.

We understand that customers want reassurance when booking a holiday, especially when weather conditions and water levels are beyond anyone's control.

Union Canal Carriers is working closely with the Canal & River Trust to monitor the situation, and we will keep you informed of any developments that may affect your holiday.

There are still plenty of wonderful cruising experiences to enjoy from Braunston, including peaceful rural canals, historic towns, tunnels, aqueducts and welcoming country pubs.

Even if a particular route is affected by water shortages, alternative cruising options remain available. Should further canals close, we are fortunate to be able to offer holidays of more than a week on the beautiful Ashby Canal, where there are no locks to close.

As water levels and navigation restrictions can change, we will contact you approximately one week before your holiday with the latest information and advice.
