Barging in Europe

Every European summer, for three months, we explore the rivers, canals and towns of Western Europe in our 18m barge, Yavanna. Yavanna is a English wide boat and was built by Pickford & Arnold in Yorkshire. Her first owner who had her built, was by profession a cabinet maker which resulted in the wonderful interior. All the cupboards are made from cherry wood and the tongue and grove ceiling and walls are from Cedar.

Our bedroom cabin


Our bedroom is in the bow and is spacious with masses of cupboards and a wardrobe that have a copper heating pipe running through them for winter and even a light in the wardrobe. Wooden steps lead to a hatch which has two doors which open out and then pulls back across the roof. Its wonderful to lie in bed at night and look at the stairs and enjoy the breeze. Our bed is a cherry wood, four poster and also made by the original owner and very comfy.
