Great 2 hour trip on a 1930’s barge on the Cromford Canal. Great staff, loads of history, well worth the price. Canal Trust coffee bar at other end with yummy cakes. WCs.

My husband, my 3 year old grandson and myself have just returned from a trip on ‘Birdswood’ on the Cromford Canal.
Have walked this section of the canal many times but this was our first trip on the barge.
A really good day thoroughly enjoyed by us all.
Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Refreshments at very reasonable prices.
Can recommend for all ages.

Well worth a visit to have a ride on this canal boat. A gentle 2 hour trip down the canal and back with good commentary. Staff very friendly and helpful. Recommend this for a visit.

For my brother's birthday we decided to visit Matlock area and pre-booked a trip on one of the long boats. The weather was sunny and warm and we got seated on the boat ready for our trio. There were plenty of staff who firstly did a safety recording done by a famous actor and then off we went. Refreshments were served to anyone requiring them. It is approximately one hour there and back with the choice to get off at the other end for 10 minutes or so before boarding other boat back again. The staff were very knowledgeable and were amusing using at times. Overall, it was an experience and well worth the money. For abit of excitement on the way back, the boat became grounded in the reeds and low water, but was soon rectified by the driver and crew. Well done, keep up the good work.

STEER CLEAR! Terrible service & unreliable booking procedure! Emailed on a Wednesday to ask availability for a specific date for a charter booking. Saw reply Thursday saying yes but need to confirm immediately. Was going to email back to say just finalising itinerary & confirm asap when I got txt and phone call to say need to know by Friday am for staff shifts. Agreed &, in fact, text & emailed back THURSDAY evening to go ahead with booking for them to reply Friday morning saying they've booked someone else in!!! What over night? Should have had the courtesy to at least check with me!! Most unprofessional!

For my wife's 70th birthday, 35 family and friends took a leisurely scenic journey along the Cromford Canal on Birdswood, an environmentally friendly electric canal barge.
The journey was accompanied by an informative commentary and at the turnaround point we were able to visit the recently restored Lockkeepers Cottage with connections to Florence Nightingale. The whole 2-hour trip was idyllic, the crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and everyone really enjoyed the day. Even those of us living locally learned something new. We would highly recommend this super experience.

Our large group had a relaxing, informative and interesting trip on Birdswood along the Cromford canal to the aqueduct & back through this World Heritage area. Our expectation was for a relaxing, informative and interesting trip and this historic boat & volunteer crew delivered exactly that. A delightful way to have a packed lunch! Anyone expecting a high-speed powerboat with 3D LED screens providing an interactive high-tech presentation will be disappointed … this is old-school transport where any income supports the boat & canal maintenance.

No, at least not for the horse drawn trip. It’s a very narrow narrowboat with steep steps to get into the boat.
Do you have to book? We were thinking of coming to visit Saturday 24thor Sunday 25th August.

Hi, please could you help? My family booked via Groupon x2 adults & x4(family ticket) I.e. x6 people in total for Birdswood last Thurs (31/05/18) but a mix-up with the Groupon booking system meant the booking did not come through. We were advised by Birdswood to claim refund through Groupon but they say we need an email from yourselves. We were very disappointed to miss out on such a lovely trip with such great reviews as were travelling back from Peak District the next day. Please could you help in order that we may receive our refund? Many thanks Helen

Hi Helen, I don't deal with Birdswood bookings myself but have forwarded your query to Birdswood's operations manager. You can contact her directly if you choose - simply look up Birdswood on Facebook, 'like' the page and then use the Message facility.
Hope you get the refund sorted soon.

Hi, you can pre-book for a trip at 11am or 2pm this coming Sunday 27/05/18. It's best done online - just search " bookings - Birdswood "
Failing that you can find the phone number on the boat's Facebook page.
Hope we'll see you soon!

Would we need to book a place on the boat? What times do the trips start/finish?

Buxton, UK217 aportes
Hi, thanks for your enquiry. The boat gets busiest at weekends so we'd recommend pre-booking either online via our website (TA won't allow me to post URL links - just search Birdswood's name...), by email (address on website) or via our limited availability Groupon deals (search: canal, Derby)
Trips depart at 11am and 2pm prompt on Wed, Thur, Sat & Sun - it's best to be at the boat 15 mins prior. They last two hours, with about 25 minutes at the turn-around point at Leawood Pump House when passengers can get off and look at the various industrial archaeological sites including the Wigwell Aqueduct, the 1840s Pump House and the 1830s railway workshops at High Peak Junction.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard in the near future!

Light refreshments are available on board - pre-pack food items and hot and cold drinks - but we have no problem with people bringing their own food to consume on board.
