点评:We had a great 4 day holiday on the narrowboat "Grosmont Castle" from the 18th to 21st of July.
The boat was clean, very well equipped and maintained. The owners and staff are friendly and very helpful. When we arrived, Nick explained everything about the boat to us. He came aboard with us and made sure that we knew how to handle and steer the boat. When we (and he !) were happy we dropped him off 1/2 mile along the canal at a bridge.
The Monmouthshire & Brecon canal is a very rural and beautiful waterway. As you cruise along at walking pace, you have plenty of time to take in the scenery. Sometimes you are surrounded by trees on either side and sometimes the views open up to vistas across the Usk valley to the hills beyond - beautiful. We saw Ducks (many !), Herons, a Kingfisher, and sheep and cattle in the fields on either side. There were five locks on the stretch of canal which we cruised and we were helped through them by Canal & River Trust volunteers - very helpful indeed.
All in all, we had a great, relaxing and pleasant break. Well done Castle Narrowboats !
翻译:7月18日至21日,我们在“格罗斯蒙特城堡”窄船上度过了愉快的4天假期。
船很干净,设备齐全且维护得很好。业主和工作人员都很友好而且非常乐于助人。当我们到达时,尼克向我们解释了关于这艘船的一切。他和我们一起上船,并确保我们知道如何操纵和驾驶船。当我们(和他!)很高兴时,我们把他放在沿着运河 1/2 英里的一座桥上。
蒙茅斯郡和布雷肯运河是一条非常乡村且美丽的水道。当您以步行的速度巡游时,您有充足的时间欣赏风景。有时两边都是树木,有时可以看到 Usk 山谷到远处山丘的景色 - 美丽。我们看到鸭子(很多!)、苍鹭、翠鸟,以及两边田野里的羊和牛。我们巡游的运河段上有五个船闸,运河和河流信托基金会志愿者帮助我们通过它们——确实非常有帮助。
总而言之,我们度过了一个愉快、轻松、愉快的假期。城堡窄船干得好!
