We hire bicycles which can be attached using a rack to certain boats.

visit English heritage

On top of the hill and visible for miles around is Ely Cathedral, known as the 'ship of the Fens'.

The cathedral has a unique style and an interior that admits more light than usual because of its stone octagon tower with a timber lantern on top.

5 star boats, family business

Our Expert Narrowboat building guarantees you the finest 5 star boats. We add a new boat to the fleet each year and sell an older boat.

We run a friendly family business which stretches back generations. See the Fox Boats history
