 Narrowboat "Lady Godiva" cruising the British canals  The Coventry Rainbow Canal Trust provides days out and short break holidays for anyone, but particularly for adults and children with disabilities.  Our narrowboat, the "Lady Godiva", is the only one in the area that has an operational hydraulic life for wheelchairs.  The "Lady Godiva" complies with the requirements of British Waterways "Boat Safety" and holds a valid Boat Safety Certificate issued by an independent Surveyor.  We have a portable generator which can be used to power any medical equipment brought on board at mains voltage (230/240 volts A.C.).  The boat has recently been refurbished thanks to the generosity of B & Q.  The Trust won a £5,000 award for the project, and was also a recipient of £500 from the Heart of England Co-operative Society.

It is a relaxing, stress-free feeling, moving at four miles per hour along the waterways.  The boat is steered by our professional boatmaster, so there is nothing for you to do but to relax and enjoy the countryside through our large picture windows.  Have a leisurely lunch at a canal-side pub, or a picnic either on the boat or in a pleasant spot along the canal bank - the boatman knows of many places where you can stop.  The "Lady Godiva" can accommodate up to twelve people on a day trip and 6 on a holiday (including escorts and carers).

Please take a look around this web site, to see more details of the "Lady Godiva", as well as possible day trip routes.  Then contact us and book a day out, or a short break holiday, on the "Lady Godiva" for your family, club or place of work.  We take children, senior citizens, disadvantaged children and adults and people with disabilities - for whom the boat has been especially designed.  But you don't have to have a disability to use the "Lady Godiva" - and you will have the satisfaction of supporting a worthy local charity.
