Canal boat holidays 'could be led by conservation group membership'

Travellers looking to support the UK's rural regions should try getting membership of a conservation organisation and using their canal boat holiday as a way of visiting sites of natural beauty.

All About You has suggested that by becoming a member of this type of group canal boat holiday, lovers will be sent numerous examples of activities that could take their fancy.

'By booking a course … you can learn new skills such as dry-stone walling or hedge laying and meet like-minded people,' it recommended.

For those looking at a slower-paced canal boat holiday, it advised visiting some of the Wildlife Trust's 2,256 nature reserves.

The Woodland Trust and its 250 community wood areas in the UK could also be good options for those looking at enjoying the countryside while on their break.

People with a historical bent could go on a canal boat holiday in Shropshire and take advantage of the county's new scheme, which highlights the landscape's history and the way this impacted on people's lives.ADNFCR-2853-ID-19600805-ADNFCR
