Online travel insurance necessary to enjoy Britain's waterways

People are advised to buy cheap travel insurance before setting off to enjoy Britain's historic network of waterways.

The Inland Waterways Association (IWA) has recommended a trip on Britain's canals and rivers for people looking for a more relaxing journey away from home. The UK has 2,200 miles of waterways waiting to be explored by people with one-way travel insurance and 30,000 boats use them every year. British waterways also have a rich history which the IWA will be looking to restore through the course of this year.

Ray Carter, trustee of the Inland Waterways Association, said: "We're trying to preserve something that's 300 years old; that's our aim in life and we're still restoring canals that have been out of use for a hundred years or more."

Canal and river trips are recommended for large groups of friends and can be a great British trip for people looking to save money by travelling somewhere closer to home. With a pub to be found every ten miles or so, relaxing with friends on the water can be a hugely enjoyable experience.
