About Towpath Life

Life by the water.
People at the heart.

You don’t need to own a boat to belong. Narrowboats, widebeams, river cruisers and barges all have a place here too.

A conversation, not a sales funnel.

An all-boats community and a welcome for everyone who enjoys life beside the waterways. The Facebook group is where joining and posting happen. This website is a public starting point for useful information.

Hamish started Widebeam Life. Mary leads the day-to-day community work. The three communities sit within Towpath Digital’s boating family.

Useful without an account.

You’re welcome to read these pages without Facebook. We won’t pretend a website link signs you into the group or approves a post.
