Overview

We went to the Wheel to do the "official" wheel boat trip, but it was a hot day and we were told that our dog could not go with us so we abandoned that plan. Walking round the visitor centre we spotted the Wooden Spoon. Not only is the boat very good for disabled access, they are dog friendly and the trip is cheaper and raises money for a great charity. You don't do the Wheel but you do have a great canal trip. Well worth it.
