Boats, Barges,Cruises and Catamarans - a holiday just messing about on the river, or the sea of course, is a totally unique experience for the uninitiated or a must for those that have done it before. A true sense of freedom awaits those seeking a break on one of Britains many inland waterways or around its varied coastline. From rugged and wild isolated coasts and coves to calm, quaint and in some cases sophisticated ports and harbours Britain has it all for a wonderful water holiday
Brit Quote:
A nation trying to tax itself to prosperity is rather like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle - Winston Churchill
