Canals,Waterways and lakes.

[iandsm]

For health reasons we have decided to stop our travelling in the EU and stay in the UK. We have had a particular liking for aires and other stops near canals. lakes and other waterways and I expect others might too so I have started this thread in the hope that fellow motorhomes might mention places that fit the bill either for overnight stops (including pubs etc) or longer stays.

I will start the ball rolling with.. The Maltster's, Ranworth NR136AB. 52.7776/1.48896. A pleasant pub on the bank of Ranworth broad Norfiok, they allow motorhomes to stop in a very large carpark overnight free if having drinks or a meal. The food is decent pub grub at sensible prices, there is outside seating with nice view of he broad and the boats.

There is also the Falkirk Wheel where you are allowed to overnight right next to the canal.

Also the C&CC site at Derwentwater, Keswick (if you can get booked) is right next to the lake .
