Why go
What makes Jennifer May Canal and River Tour worth considering
Use this cruise when the group wants a seated river experience with cover, a toilet, commentary, and a lock passage rather than a self-drive boat.
Standard trips last about 40 to 45 minutes, leave from the central canal basin, use recorded commentary and music, and travel through the historic lock onto the River Avon.
Plan your visit
The useful details
- Best for: Families, first-time visitors, mixed-age groups, dogs, school or coach groups, private hire, wheelchair users who arrange the published early slot, and travellers fitting the river between central sights.
- Look for: Choose a standard ticket, turn up for an available departure, or ask about a group or exclusive trip. Contact the operator before booking when wheelchair lift access or a group of 20 or more matters.
- What sets it apart: The route connects the canal basin and River Avon through a working lock, while the covered Jennifer May adds glass-roof views, an on-board toilet, and a professional audio tour.
- Address: Bancroft Gardens, Waterside, Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 6AT
- Before you book: Travellers can book online or pay on board when space remains. Schedules, prices, concession rules, late departures, group discounts, private hire, and operating decisions can change, so check the official trip and FAQ pages on the day.
