The Kittywake Canal Cruises offers a distinctive way to spend a leisurely afternoon in the heart of the scenic countryside, where calm waters and charming canal vistas set the scene for an onboard culinary adventure. Located along tranquil waterways, this cruise provides an intimate setting to unwind while indulging in a hearty Sunday roast. The voyage lasts approximately 2.5 hours and takes place aboard the Elleswake, a vessel specially designed to offer comfort and panoramic views.
