A stunning sky greeted us on the water today — calm, colourful, and full of that early‑autumn character.
We’ve just completed our busiest two‑month period since launching CanalScapes, and yet views like this never lose their magic. Every day on the water feels special.

A new chapter for our local countryside — the Burston Trail is now officially open.
I walked it this morning and it’s a beautiful mix of open fields, quiet lanes and that brand‑new bridge that finally reconnects the route.It’s the kind of walk that reminds you why Staffordshire is special: peaceful, green, and full of stories.

I’ve added a short ('ish😊) video of the trail and the new bridge so you can get a feel for it — hope it inspires a few weekend wanderers.

If you’re staying with CanalScapes, this is now one of my recommended local walks. Perfect for a gentle 90 minutes outdoors.

Our recent trip to the National Memorial Arboretum was something truly special.
It's a trip our guests look forward to every year - time to reflect, remember and enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings together.

We've put together a few moments from the visit below.

New toy. New angles. New vibes.
CanalScapes is now filming in full 360°, and the results are absolutely wild — silky‑smooth cruising shots, flyover vibes, and the occasional accidental cameo from me trying to look professional while pressing the wrong button.
Our first Insta360 clip is here…
Prepare for narrowboat glamour, towpath chaos, and views you’ve never seen from a boat that moves at the speed of a polite stroll.

🌞 CanalScapes in Stone This Weekend

We'll be moored in Stone from Friday afternoon through late Saturday, showcasing the CanalScapes narrowboat for anyone curious about day trips, short stays, or simply what life on the water feels like.

You’ll probably catch me cleaning the brass — that unmistakable warm, metallic smell drifting across the towpath — so you’ll know you’re close.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a trip, planning a celebration, or just fancy stepping aboard for a look around, feel free to stop by and say hello.

📍 Exact mooring location will be posted Friday afternoon

Looking forward to welcoming you aboard 😎👍
