It would be easy to assume that Great Britain and Ireland have few “hidden corners” left. The islands are small…and the visitors numerous. But it’s remarkable how much difference a few miles, and an unusual mode of transport, can make.
Just outside big cities like Windsor, Oxford, Inverness or Galway lie beautiful country filled with charming waterside villages, manor homes and castles, gardens, nature parks and friendly local people. Relatively few visitors see England, Scotland and Ireland from a river- or canal-side vantage point, and that’s part of its charm. A cruise along the River Thames or Shannon, along Lough Derg or the Caledonian Canal, offers a chance to savor the real life of the landscapes through which you pass.
