Birdswood

Birdswood is an historic ex-working narrow boat belonging to The Friends of Cromford Canal - a charity who’s objective is the restoration of the canal as a whole. The boat is operated by a dedicated team of volunteers, running scheduled trips from March to October: additionally we offer private charters, making the boat an ideal venue for functions for up to 40 people. Come and enjoy a peaceful, relaxing journey along the scenic, rural Cromford Canal, get up close to the fabulous wildlife, and learn about the unique industrial heritage of the Derwent Valley - the part of the canal we cruise on is in a SSSI plus a World Heritage Site!!
