The Oxford Canal links the historic city of Oxford to Coventry in the East Midlands, taking in the Shakespeare country of Warwickshire and popular destination of Stratford -on-Avon en route. It is regarded as one of the most scenic waterways.
The Grand Union canal is a combination of canals that were once the primary link between the Midlands and London.
A Boating Holiday on this network of waterways allows you to explore some fine English countryside, taking you into the centre of London if you so wish.
Here are the Boat Holidays that we have available on the Oxford And Grand Union Canal.

If you require Hotel accommodation before of after your holiday near this canal, see our partner site Oxfordshire.info
