Boating in Derbyshire

From the thrills of watersports to the more tranquil pleasures of boating through green countryside, Derbyshire has it all.

With such impressive scenery and architectural delights, narrowboating along the Peak Forest Canal could not fail to be enjoyable. Only the lock flight at Marple, threading through the leafy outskirts of this commuter town, interrupts the comfortable cruising.

For more of a white-knuckle ride, head to Carsington Water.
