Birdswood is the historical narrow boat belonging to The Friends of Cromford Canal and the primary objective of operating our trip boat is to generate income for The Friends of Cromford Canal’s strategic aim of conservation & restoration of the Cromford canal.
The boat and shop are run entirely by our dedicated team of volunteers, and Birdswood runs scheduled trips throughout the year. Our exclusive charters make a personal venue for your private function, and for 2026 we have several one-off themed trips.
