Whaley Bridge Basin

Literally hundreds of letters and cards of praise and thanks, from individuals, clubs and companies, stand as testimony to the thousands of people who have enjoyed cruising on the beautiful Peak Forest canal, onboard the narrowboat Judith Mary II.

If you drive past the canal basin in Whaley Bridge you can't fail to notice the Judith Mary II as she dominates the basin when she is moored there. An elegant seventy one foot long and seven foot wide, she has the capacity to seat forty diners.

The luxury narrowboat restaurant and her crew have been chartered by many companies for client entertaining and corporate hospitality as well being used for pure pleasure by social clubs, senior citizens clubs, pubs, schools and coach parties as well as charity trips.

Princess Diana

On June 14th 1990 a meal fit for a princess was prepared onboard the Judith Mary II when Princess Diana took time out from a hectic tour of the Peak District to enjoy a meal and a relaxing cruise on the Peak Forest canal.

We will gladly provide more information and welcome anyone to come to the canal basin at Whaley Bridge to view the boat.
