I walked and cycled along a good portion of the forth and clyde from Bowling to the center of Glasgow last year. Then took a tour boat on the wheel and walked to the horses . It’s quite a nice walk or bicycle ride. Certainly changed from when I lived in the area. i was contemplating more the English system some where. For the traditional canal experience not entirely sure what the traditional canal experience is. many years ago I helped crew a sailboat through the Crinan Canal. Which is probably a bit different

Thanks I’ve heard of Warwick Castle and Rugby but ashamed to admit I don’t know where they are. Oxford a a vague notion. Not really set on any particular feature as a must be other than some old fashioned English pub within a walk for a pub lunch or evening. I will look up and check Kate boats.

I usually fly into Glasgow where I have family. Occasionally fly into Heathrow. Probably take train from Glasgow. My though would be a hire for a week, but where? Nice Pubs, Locks, Aqueducts, Tunnels, I don't know England, very well but a bit of nice country side, It would all be new to me. A one way trip if possible, or a circle. Just don't know where to start.

Not really, new to boating. Fishing and sailing ect. Live in Canada, Visit from time to time. Never tried canal boats, Interested in giving it a try, wondering where to start.
