There are 3 bedrooms, one at the front of the boat, with a 44 inch double bed, which converts into lounge/dining area seating up to six adults.

From Greenberfield you can either cruise east through the stunning scenery of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, towards historic Skipton and on to the famous five-rise locks at Bingley, or west through the Foulridge tunnel and on through the industrial heritage of Lancashire and the lovely Lancashire countryside
