Cruises:

This luxuriously appointed narrowboat is now available with crew, for private charter to cruise the picturesque river Stort.

One of the prettiest stretches of navigation, the river Stort meanders through pleasant English countryside, along the Hertfordshire border. Everyday bustle seems miles away.

The energetic might enjoy helping to work the locks, or simply sit back for a change, and watch this peaceful world slip by. The well-appointed galley offers ample opportunity for Annie’s skills as a chef. Her speciality is Far Eastern cuisine, using subtle herbs and spices.

Annie’s launch is moored at Parndon Mill, a centre for creative activity providing workspace for artists, craftsmen, and designers. On the ground floor there is a fine art gallery where exhibitions often spill out onto the island between the river Stort and the millstream. Traditional narrowboats are moored here, and in the surrounding fields are friendly farm animals that enjoy visitors.
