All aboard the Leighton Lady!

...for a brief trip along the water and back through time...

If you'd like to join us for an exploratory trip of the historic Grand Union Canal, scheduled public trips are available every Tuesday and Thursday throughout August. The first - for one hour - is at 12.30pm and the second - for 2 hours - is at 2.00pm. Alternatively, you may wish to join us for one of our very popular Dinner Cruises which take place throughout the year or our Special Cream Tea Trips.
 Ducklings!

Your one hour trip gives a surprising insight into the life of the waterway and even local people remark on the 'new' things they see from this viewpoint. It's also an ideal 'taster' for those considering holding your special event with us.

Your two hour trip offers all the benefits of the earlier cruise but gives you that extra time to relax, unwind and enjoy the scenery and wildlife.

Both these cruises are extremely popular with children, to whom it may be a unique experience. To enhance their enjoyment (and to help their parents?), knowledgeable crew will be pleased to answer questions about the waterway and it's flora and fauna when their duties allow.

Booking Information

All cruises depart from Brantoms Wharf, Leighton Buzzard, at the times advertised. Though seats may be available for the casual caller it is always advisable to book in advance. If you haven't pre-booked please call before making a special trip.
