Boating near Dudley

Boating comes into its own in the Midlands. The River Avon is one of Britain’s prettiest navigations - and the Grand Union Canal one of the longest – so whatever you’re after, whether you’re part of an energetic crew happy to tackle the Tardebigge Flight or a skipper in search of some relaxation on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, you’re bound to find something to suit.
