Britain's What's On Event Guide
Exeter Canal Cruise
Cruise along the oldest working shipping canal in Europe!
Join us travelling at a relaxing pace as we sail along Exeter Canal, sit back and soak up the scenery, watch the locks come to life, the swing bridge majestically open, before enjoying the seaside town of Exmouth or Exeter’s Historic Quayside.
Cruising up the River Exe, we come to Turf Locks, the entrance to the Exeter Canal. This tidal lock was the first-pound lock to be built on any British waterway.
Along the towpath, we pass two of the area’s most popular pubs, Turf Lock Hotel and The Double Locks. These two inns really come to life in the summer months with heaps of people enjoying the outdoor spaces and community ambiance – so give them a wave as we cruise by!
As we glide further along the canal we then bring traffic to a standstill as one of Exeter’s main roads comes to a halt when the Countess Wear Swing Bridge ceremoniously opens to allow our passage through. Designed to allow large vessels to pass, it is rarely used now but is kept busy with the 36,000 vehicles a day that use the bridge.
Depending on your departure point you will either arrive at the seaside town of Exmouth or Exeter’s Historic Quayside.
This is a one-way trip where you can either board from Exmouth to travel up to Exeter or depart from Exeter to travel to Exmouth. For your return journey there are ample public transport links within a few minutes flat walk at both Exmouth and Exeter and our crew will be happy to point the way!
