Our 1930’s narrowboat Roger, is a piece of living history. It’s lovingly maintained by a local charity Rickmansworth Waterways Trust, to offer you an authentic and unforgettable experience.
This experience is suitable for individuals, or groups of up to 10. It lasts around 1 ¾ hours and starts with:
A guided walk of the historic site at Batchworth Lock

A short talk about the history of, and life on the canals
It finishes with an hour long trip on Roger *, including going through Batchworth Lock and back. Refreshments are served on board.
Note: Participants need to be able to climb on and off a narrow boat. Also, there is a deep step to get into and out of Roger’s cabin.
