The Potteries and Peak District area is ideally placed for a one week cruise around the Four Counties Ring, which includes the industrial heritage of the Potteries, the rolling countryside of Shropshire and the Cheshire Plains, as well as many handsome market towns such as Nantwich.

Other highlights of the area are Tixall Wide Lagoon and the deep wooded cuttings on the Shropshire Union Canal. There are also many industrial museums in the area, and the Wedgewood Centre.
