Dundas is a narrowboat available from Oxfordshire Narrowboats in Kennet And Avon Canal

This is a very historic site, with the original Wharf building and Dry dock. Bradford on Avon is a fantastic town, nestling in the heart of the Avon Valley within a stone's throw of Bath – a World Heritage City!<br/><br/>The Kennet & Avon Canal stretches across south west England from Bristol to Reading, and was fully restored in the 1990s and features some of Britain's most spectacular waterway features.<br/><br/>Cruising west from Bradford on Avon, the canal clings to the side of the Avon Valley, passing two splendid aqueducts and a unique restored water pump. <br/><br/>At Bath, the canal descends through one of the country's deepest locks to offer the world famous view of Pulteney Bridge and the waterfalls, which you can moor close to! If sightseeing isn't your thing, choose to cruise down the tranquil River Avon and right into Bristol's Floating Harbour in the centre of the city. This is a fascinating place with the famous little yellow ferries bustling around, the magnificent SS Great Britain in its dock in the Harbour and, not far away, Telford's engineering masterpiece – the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge.

This narrowboat can sleep up to 10 people.

  • New for 2010

What do other people say about Swan Rapier from Swancraft

A wonderful holiday – relaxing, quiet and unhurried. Very friendly people in other boats who are always willing to help if you are in difficulty.
Mr H from Bath

An excellent boat, easy to handle and a helpful boat yard.
Mr H from Godalming

Just about as good as it can get for this type of holiday, a great way to slow down!!!
Mr E from Leicester

The holiday was every thing Hoseasons said it would be. The people at Swancraft were excellent in all respects, the boat Swan Rapier was fantastic, toughly relaxing break!
Mr A from Strathaven

We stayed in the Swan Rapier, this boat was wonderful! The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our week on the boat, accompanied by lovely weather – we especially enjoyed Beccles and Loddon. There was plenty of mooring in Beccles but in Loddon it was limited to about 8-10 boats near the village but there were other moorings further away from the village. There were plenty of places to get food in Loddon ranging from chips to Chinese, Indian take away and also pub grub. In Beccles we visited a little Italian restaurant twice called the Ristorante Piatto, Smallgate, Beccles – the food was lovely there. The central heating on this boat was a blessing on a cold morning and also the Whirlpool bath was great for relaxing at night. The living area was very nice and was just big enough for you to sprawl out on. The kitchen was reasonably small but had all the appliances you need. Overall it was a very good boat and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a week of total relaxation.
Mr W from Walsall

This holidays was everything –amp–amp; more than the brochure said. We enjoyed it that much we immediately booked the same boat again, not for a week, but for 2 weeks next year. You just can’t get a more relaxing holiday.
Mrs D from Poole

A very chilled and relaxing holiday, everything was made so easy for us and there was no rushing anywhere.
Mr C from Winsford

Hoseasons are extremely good with clear and concise information (no hidden charges etc). Even if you are a novice at boating holidays you cannot fault the standard of help and advise you get from the boatyards. It is the most relaxing and stress free holiday you could ever take. I would certainly recommend this type of holiday but you need to book well in advance!
Mr S from Stockport

Boating on the Broads is a great way of having a relaxing holiday which is also interesting as there is a lot to do and see. It is one of the few places in the world that is safe for novice boaters. As a boater of some experience, it is the only time that I have been happy on a boat without a compass, a depth sounder and a Loran/GPS.
Mr N from Bacup

A fantastic family holiday for all, the boatyard was welcoming and the boat hired was exactly what was described in the brochure.
