A really nice assortment of cakes, chocolate, battenburg, fruit tart, scones cream and jam. plenty of fresh fruit, strawberries, raspberries, tangerine. Unlimited tea, with juice and a wine for the non driver. A very nice journey circa 2 hours, very informative about the area and it's history, learned so much.

Had a wonderful afternoon, the last trip before lock down 2. Greeted really well by our captain and host. Everything explained by really well. Plenty of food and really fresh. Beef chicken and cheese sandwiches, gerkins and tomatoes.
Fantastic experience plus I loved the hotpot loaded with mince and topped of with crisp baked crusty potato it's a slow look at what's on show that we miss in our cars it's a must do trip
Lovely afternoon tea cruise along the canal. Mark was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this.
It helped that it was a beautiful sunny day. The skipper, Mark was very insightful giving us a talk on the local history of the canal as we made our way to Burscough Wharf and back again.
Nice way too spend a few hours took my mother for a mothers day treat great food fantastic host wish it hadn't been raining thanks very much
Just got back from an amazing cruise with afternoon tea with this company. The food was lovely and fresh! The skipper, Mark was lovely and professional! He was so naturally friendly and explained everything about the history of barges and the area. He was so knowledgeable. The cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing.

KINGFISHER CRUISES OFFERS A DIFFERENT VIEW OF LANCASHIRE

Welcome to Lancashire Days where we offer a service providing a one stop shop for all group organisers coach tour companies.

Over the last 10 years, we have developed a cruising haven on the Lancaster Canal.  A number of our visiting groups and coach parties have consistently asked for additional tourist locations in the North Lancashire Area to produce a full day out for our customers.

With this in mind, Lancashire Days, working with partner attractions has now provided some stunning and historical tours covering most of Lancashire.  In addition to the tour, we provide the coach company or group with an onboard host who will meet and greet the group and provide commentary throughout the tour while interacting with the groups.  The commentary involves geographical and historical pointers throughout the tour coupled with local input at a number of attractions.

Included within the day tour we offer our superb cruises to the Lune Aqueduct or our new horse-drawn boats along with optional visits to the Dewlay cheese factory and shop, Lancaster Brewery, Carnforth railway station museum, Williamson park, Brockholes Nature Reserve, Barton Grange Centre of Excellence and the famous heritage trams of Blackpool plus a depot visit to view the old trams.

Our North Lancashire tours depart from the award-winning Barton Grange Garden Centre so it is the ideal meeting point for coach tours and groups as well as being a fantastic shopping haven!

Our staff is able to work itineraries to fit most requirements, liaising with group leaders and coach companies to finalise the tours.  We can also offer coach travel from anywhere in the country from our extensive database at realistic prices for groups.  This allows the group leaders to sit back, relax and take the accolades after a great day out!

The Perfect Antidote to Modern Life Relax and unwind on the beautiful 42 miles of tranquil, lock-free Lancaster Canal on the most contemporary of narrowboats.

Relax and slow down as you see the countryside from a totally different angle. Your biggest decision each day is whether to moor by a waterside pub, or explore the normally hidden delights of the towns and villages on your route. We are a small and friendly, family-run narrowboat hire company based on the idyllic lock free Lancaster Canal in the heart of Lancashire. "Luxury" is not normally the word used to describe a narrowboat but then our boats all named after trees are not normal, not off the peg. At Crabtree Narrowboat Hire each of our boats is bespoke. We currently operate 4 boats which are all pet friendly and NON-SMOKING from our base at Barton Grange Marina. "Willow" is a 44-foot narrowboat, "Mulberry" a 57-foot narrowboat, "Linden" is a 44-foot narrowboat and "Cedar" a 45-foot narrowboat. All the narrowboats are superbly equipped. We do not do Day Hire. We only hire to families/couples.

We offer full instruction on the operation and handling of the boats at the start of your holiday thus enabling the expert or complete novice to enjoy their boating experience. We will take time to introduce you to the boat, advise you on the routes, mooring places and pubs. If required, you will be accompanied as you set off on your cruise to ensure that you are comfortable with handling the boat. We want you to enjoy your holiday with us and you will be more likely to do that if you are confident about coping on the canal. Whether you are looking for a family holiday with a difference or you just want to unwind and take life at a more tranquil pace, your boating holiday with Crabtree Narrowboat Hire on the beautiful lock-free Lancaster Canal offers you a different perspective on life and the world around you.
