Stay in a Wigwam the sign reads. Any one cruising the Grand Union through Slapton might think these canal side Wigwams are not quite the real thing. Call them what you will but these two are located on
Hill Farm which is one of 60+
Wigwam Holidays franchised sites in the UK.
Rates this time of year are £90 ($146) per night. This is a 4 berth, 1 double bed and a sofa bed. Facilities? Well you can run around the field.
Now stateside in California on the historic Route 66 you can stay at the
Wigwam Motel in proper.....ok they`re concrete but at least they
look like Wigwams.
Rates here are $88 (£54) per night in two double beds. Facilities? Not much need to worry about that having saved £40 per night but they have internet in each unit and a swimming pool.
Ok i know the UK site has no internet but it has the bigger swimming pool, just watch out for the narrow boats.

The new sunshade is handy when cruising, my poor Alaskan baby does not fair well in these hot sunny days. Yes it did fit under that bridge as it did under the old brick arches all the way through Milton Keynes. |

A first for Jaq, sharing a lock with a Fiberglass cruiser. I told her to keep a tight hold on our boat in case it drifted and squashed the Tupperware pot. Joking aside it`s just another boat and they were nice people.
The view that night through the galley side hatch.
Just north of the Globe Inn at Linslade.
