This lovely four-hour cruise along the length of the picturesque Weaver Navigation takes in many historic sights and the stunning scenery along the river – souvenir guidebooks are available on all our cruises for £5.00.  We are delighted to have local brewers Hush Brewing Co cruising with us on this trip to share samples of their brews and talk to you about their brewing methods and ethos… even the brewery name is perfect….
