You could hire a boat from stourport on severn or Kidderminster and do numerous walks from that location . The worcestshire way , North Worcestershire path, monarchs way, severn way to name a few , also the carpet baggers anytime challenge is very nice . The staffordshire and Worcestershire canal is lovely lots of canal side pubs that serve great local ale and super food . Wolverley , kinver also beatiful villages which the canal goes through
You won't be disappointed

The Cotswold Way National Trail is the obvious one - there are several companies that provide accommodation packages for it (Google them) and the southern end is in Bath (itself worth a day or two's exploration) which gives you access to the Kennet and Avon Canal. At least one narrowboat hire company has a base there (AngloWelsh) and there are probably others.

Failing that you could always try Norfolk, though there really isn't a single contiguous trail that can provide a week's entertainment .....

My wife and I would like to spend a few weeks in the UK next spring. It will be our 1st time and want to do everything. The two things we want to do after a guided tour of the country, is to take a week for a LD walk and then take a week for a narrow boat tour.

Are there any walks that start or end at a narrowboat rental?
