Boating in the North West
With 1,000 kms of coastline along the
Irish Sea and waterways galore in the Lake District, this is a
magical region for anyone looking for water-bound fun.
West Kirby's sailing hub recently produced a
12 year-old national powerboat champion and there are more than 80
other boating centres to try out. Lakes Coniston, Ullswater and
Windermere in the Lake District are all famous for historic power
boat speed records, although you are more likely to find tranquil
sails cruises and paddles. Then there are the canals, offering
miles and miles of perfect tranquillity.
