Cruising gently through the countryside, canal boat holiday-makers can enjoy spotting a variety of wildlife.\u00a0 From ducks, moorhens, swans and dragonflies, to kingfishers, otters, bats and water voles.\u00a0 And even in city centres, waterways provide safe havens for a wide variety of plants and animals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Drifters offers over 550 boats for hire from 45 locations across England, Scotland and Wales.\u00a0Here\u2019s our guide to the best narrowboat holidays for wildlife spotting:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Spot Kingfishers on the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Isolated from the main canal network, this beautiful waterway in South Wales meanders peacefully for 36 miles through the Brecon Beacons National Park, providing excellent habitat for many woodland and water birds, including kingfishers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Usually glimpsed as a sudden flash of glistening blue, the \u2018King of Fishers\u2019 travels at lightning speeds catching several fish each day.\u00a0 These colourful birds raise up to three broods every season and fiercely defend their territory at all times.\u00a0 There are more than 80 species of kingfisher around the world, but only one is native to Britain.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On a short break (three or four nights), from our canal boat hire base at Goytre Wharf near Abergavenny, you can cruise to Llangynidr and back, enjoying dramatic views of the Usk Valley.\u00a0 On a week\u2019s break, you can cruise as far as the historic market town of Brecon.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Watch out for Bats on the Caldon Canal <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The 17-mile long Caldon Canal runs into the Peak District.\u00a0 Stretching from the Trent & Mersey Canal at Etruria in Stoke-on-Trent, to Froghall Wharf in the Staffordshire Moorlands.\u00a0 With stunning wooded sections, where it passes through the beautiful Churnet Valley, providing particularly rich habitat for bats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are 18 different kinds of bat in Britain, including Daubenton\u2019s bats, also known as the \u2018water bat\u2019.\u00a0 They use the canal and river network extensively for foraging.\u00a0 They can frequently be found roosting in hollowed out tree trunks and many of the bridges and aqueducts, built alongside the canals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bats can be spotted around dusk as they venture out to hunt their insect prey.\u00a0 They use a highly sophisticated form of radar \u2013 a high frequency squeak \u2013 which bounces off objects back to the bat. This tells it the size, location, velocity and even texture of whatever is in its path.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On a short break from our Stoke on Trent narrowboat hire base, you can travel into the Peak District along the beautiful Caldon Canal.\u00a0 You can reach Cheddleton Flint Mill in around eight hours, passing through 12 locks and travelling just over 11 miles.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Count Dragonflies on the Ashby Canal <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A six-mile section of this peaceful waterway in Leicestershire is designated a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI).\u00a0 This\u00a0 recognises the diversity of its plant, insect and animal life, including nine species of dragonfly<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These colourful insects, whose origins began 300 million years ago, are voracious hunters.\u00a0 They use the reed fringes of our canals and rivers as breeding and hunting grounds.\u00a0 They are insects in the sub-order \u2018Anisoptera\u2019, meaning \u201cunequal winged\u201d as their hind wings are usually shorter and broader than their forewings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On a week\u2019s holiday from our narrowboat hire base on the Grand Union Canal at Braunston, you can cruise to the pretty village of Snarestone and back.\u00a0 On this journey, you will travel 47 miles, passing through just eight locks (four there and four back) in around 32 hours.\u00a0 This largely rural route takes you up the North Oxford Canal to Rugby.\u00a0 Then on to Hawkesbury Junction to join the Coventry Canal.\u00a0 Five miles later, the route transfers onto the peaceful lock-free Ashbury Canal, which winds gently through countryside for 22 miles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Look out for Otters on the Montgomery Canal <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This historic waterway runs for 38 miles between England and Wales.\u00a0 It is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on both sides of the border.\u00a0 And the entire length in Wales is also recognised as a Special Area of Conservation, making it one of the most important sites for wildlife in Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Currently only around half the Montgomery Canal is navigable. This includes a seven-mile section from its junction with the Llangollen Canal in Shropshire at Frankton Locks to Gronwyn Wharf.\u00a0 Work is underway to restore a further section, extending this navigable stretch to Crickheath.\u00a0 The project is expected to be completed this year.\u00a0 As part of this project, the Canal & River Trust, Shropshire Union Canal Society and other partners are constructing two nature reserves to ensure important local habitat is protected.\u00a0 This includes habitat for water voles and otters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thanks to the work of conservationists, the UK\u2019s population of otters is showing healthy signs of growth after its sad decline in the 1950\u2019s.\u00a0 Lakes, rivers and coastal areas are the otters\u2019 natural habitats but these timid nocturnal creatures can also be seen hunting on quiet stretches of the canals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On a short break from our narrowboat hire base on the Llangollen Canal at Chirk, it takes around eight hours to cruise to Gronwyn Wharf on the Montgomery Canal.\u00a0 This route travels 15 miles and passes through 10 locks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Listen for Reed Bunting on the Droitwich Canals <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many birds live and nest amongst the reeds that line sections of our inland waterways.\u00a0 These include the moorhen, coot, sage warbler and the chirruping reed bunting.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

One of the best waterways to see these lively little birds, perched up high on reed tops singing at the top of their voices, are the Droitwich Canals. These historic waterways in Worcestershire offer a linear mosaic of habitats, including substantial reedbeds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Reed buntings are sparrow-sized but slim with long, deeply notched tails.\u00a0 The male has a black head with a white collar in the summer.\u00a0 The black head becomes a dull brown in the winter.\u00a0 Females have a brown head, buff throat and buff-coloured lines above and below their eyes.\u00a0 Reed buntings feed on seeds and insects and they nest in a cup of grass and moss built on the ground.\u00a0 These are usually amongst reeds or grasses in a wet or marshy place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Droitwich Canals can be reached on a short break from our canal boat holiday rental base at Worcester on the River Severn.\u00a0 The Droitwich Ring is a 21-mile, 33-lock canal boat holiday circuit which takes around 16 hours to navigate.\u00a0 It takes in sections of the Worcester & Birmingham Canal and the River Severn, as well as the Droitwich Barge and Junction canals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
