COTSWOLD BOATMOBILITY 

Cotswold Boatmobility provides opportunities for accessible boating, using specially adapted boats, on the Stroudwater canal for those unable, through reasons of disability or mobility issues, to access traditional boats. Friends, families and carers are also able to participate in this social activity in the open air in a peaceful context.
