Boats and Boots
This ever popular event held in conjunction with

to explore the canal as it passes through Rotherham
borough. Taking in some superb scenery,
these boat trips and guided walks offer the chance to
explore the area around Thorpe Salvin and Kiveton and
experience the area that provided the stone for
the Houses of Parliament in London.
