Top Leeds Water Tours

Yorkshire's countryside is at its best away from the roads, along the quiet canals you can't reach on foot. This cruise takes you out onto the water with a traditional Yorkshire afternoon tea served on board—sandwiches, scones, and desserts—as the barge moves through the countryside.

Step aboard the Dalesman canal boat for a canal cruise in the Yorkshire Dales with a difference. Choose your favorite drink and allow your host to pour you one, whether you’re into gin, cocktails, whisky or wine, craft beer or cider. Just like a pub, only cruising on the water, the Drinks Ahoy cruise is a narrowboat unlike no other. Sit back, enjoy the ride and keep the drinks coming.

A meal out and a look at the Yorkshire countryside usually mean doing two separate things. This canal cruise from Skipton rolls them into one, serving a roast dinner aboard a traditional barge as the countryside and canalside drift past from the water. A bar on board sells soft and alcoholic drinks, and the route passes points of local history along the way, including the Polish Airmen Memorial marking a wartime bomber crash on the canal bank.
