We’re a Heritage Education Charity bringing together people from across our community with a love for the canals around Rickmansworth. We present education programmes, maintain a historic canal boat, have organised the Rickmansworth Festival, run a shop and information centre, run short boat rides and longer charters, and provide a pleasant visit to Batchworth Lock.
With the change in the clocks and the arrival of longer days we are now open from 10.00am to 4.00pm every day (or a bit longer if there is demand).
Our regular turn-up-and-ride boat trips between Batchworth and Stockers Locks will run every day with the first trip at 10.15 am and the last trip at 3.00 pm, but it’s always best to phone ahead and check availability on 01923 778382. Dogs are welcome on board provided other passengers have no objections.
If you wish to make a longer ‘Charter’ booking please click on this link: Charter Booking Enquiry, or contact canalcentre@rwt.org.uk.
The Café@Lock81 is also open Wednesdays to Sundays.
For Education Centre Bookings please e-mail enquiries@rwt.org.uk to make an enquiry.
