This is the place to book your Caldon canal boat hire. The Caldon can be completed in an energetic 4 night break or a pleasant 1 week hire and more relaxed canal boat hire.
The Caldon Canal is arguably the best canal on the system, offering a complete and diverse experience. This canal takes you from serene countryside to industrial areas and back to idyllic landscapes. Starting at Stoke-on-Trent, you’ll encounter the first lock, a staircase lock, followed by three lift bridges—two electrified and one hydraulic. The route includes a stunning viaduct/aqueduct.
The Leek Arm of the canal leads you to the top of the valley toward Leek, culminating in a beautiful tunnel. Descending into the valley, the canal joins a river section that guides you to the Froghall Tunnel and a hidden basin beside Hatties Tea Room. The journey is enriched by the Churnet Valley Steam Railway, adding a touch of historical charm. For anyone looking to experience all a canal has to offer, the Caldon Canal is the one to choose.
