CanalAbility Information

CanalAbility are an award-winning charity dedicated to providing the facilities for people with a wide range of disabilities, health conditions or anyone experiencing disadvantages, to enjoy boating on the river on our specially adapted canal boats. Embark on a delightful 4-hour day trip, immersing yourself in the beauty of the Essex and Hertfordshire countryside while exploring the River Stort . You can try your hand at steering the boat and operating the locks, or simply unwind and watch the flora, fauna, wildlife and the world go by. Our two purpose-built, fully centrally heated and accessible broad beam boats enable everyone to take a full and active part in the boating experience all year round. Our mooring on the Herts / Essex border is easily accessible by road using the M11, or by mainline rail to Harlow Town railway station. We are only 12 miles from London Stansted Airport, 35 miles from Central London and 40 miles from Cambridge.
