Narrowboat holiday in London
Features
Oh, there's nothing like messing around on the water. Forget ducks and lily pads and weeping willows and scenic English villages, though. Think blighted industrial landscapes, waste processing plants, old nags grazing by the side of the canal and men with pit bulls loitering, suspiciously. Just south of Enfield, in a prettily painted narrowboat called Jessie, moving along at a stately four miles per hour, we glide gently into the kind of landscape that looks like you might find Sigourney Weaver armed with a flame thrower: there are pylons on one side, the M25 just ahead, darkened underpasses providing the ideal cover in which to take crack cocaine, and beyond, delights still to come, Edmonton and Tottenham.

Features
Travel companies in many countries offer the chance to get up close to whales and dolphins by swimming alongside them in the sea. But there is growing concern that in some areas heavily targeted by commercial swim tours, there may be a long-term impact on the health and wellbeing of the animals.
