These canal boats offer a great time down the river Avon into Bath. The trip offers spectacular views from out in Bathhampton into the city of Bath. The trip was about 4£ I believe but we’ll worth the fare. It was quite unexpected, however that also includes a live guided commentary during the trip.
We stayed at opposite end of the canal boat journey in Bathhampton at the Old Mill hotel. The boats pickup right across the old bridge right outside a decent pub/​restaurant as well. The boats come every 80 – 90 minutes, so it is important to get a schedule from a local hotel or the pub to time your trip appropriately.
We ended up taking the last boat out and into the city in the evening and grabbed a taxi back at night for less than 10£.
Overall, it was well worth the money and one of the highlights of our trip to Bath.

This was a perfect way to wind down a long, hot train ride from Brighton to Bath on my vacation. I took the last cruise of the day and enjoyed a lazy, relaxing boat ride on the Avon river during sunset.
The river ambulates through pastures, hills and the boat tour ends at another bridge (can’t remember the name) where there are 2 pubs sitting on the sites of former mills which were destroyed by fires/​explosions.
It’s cute; and the guide, Ryan, is handsome! Lovely views all around!

If you want to see Bath from a completely different angle, where you idle along at the perfect pace for really taking in the architecture, this is the thing to do at least once in your life. You’re simultaneously out of the world and also right amongst it. You can even imagine a time long ago when Bath’s network of canals was the main trade and commuter route, if that helps you at all. The service is fairly regular during the spring and summer (the ideal times for taking these trips through the centre of Bath), so you can just show up and be whisked away for a few heavenly moments.

If you’re ever on a day out in Bath you HAVE to catch this boat trip, especially on a sunny day. The boats go regularly from Pulteney Weir, so take a stroll over there to find out when they go (there’s a clock that updates to show the next departure time).
From central Bath, they amble up the river to Bathampton Weir. A round trip takes around an hour (and costs about £7 for an adult) offering a chance to see how the other half live (some of the houses backing onto the river are stunning), observe the wildlife and wave to the braver souls who are out on rowing boats and punts.
You can also jump off at the pub at the turnaround point at Bathampton Weir which has a huge garden, food and lovely views. Uncharacteristically for Bath, this trip is relaxing, fun and good value for money.
BE WARNED: THESE TOURS DO NOT APPEAR TO EMBARK BETWEEN OCTOBER AND FEBRUARY.
