You can find a much better series called Great Canal Journeys

---

I find I’m not particularly fond of the narrator/boat owner in Travels by Narrowboat, he seems to be really full of himself. But the scenery is very pleasant in an English understated way and the thunk-thunk of his boat’s motor is calming after a busy day of retirement. Apparently there are loads of narrowboat videos out there. I knew it was a thing, but had no idea how big a thing it is.

It's very popular in the UK and Europe. Many of the canals there were abandoned then restored by private organizations. That was one of the main themes of Great Canal Journeys, where Timothy and Prunella would talk about how the canal was rescued. There is even a show called Celebrity 5 Go Barging where over the hill celebs try and make themselves relevant again by going on a canal boat trip. It is also a popular destination for people who want a different type of vacation and there are many boats available for charter.
