Sheffield Chandlers And Boat Equipment

There are a large number of chandlers and boating suppliers and equipment specialists in the Sheffield area, many of them were first founded during the industrial revolution when the city of Sheffield transformed almost overnight from a small, rural town to a thriving metropolis with a penchant for producing the finest steel that the world had ever seen. Whilst the idea of exploring an industrial area via canalboat may not sound very inviting in recent years the city has been revitalised and rejuvenated and the canal banks, tow paths and riversides are some of the most stunning in the United Kingdom. It is easy to see why so many boating suppliers and chandlers work from the area around Sheffield; with excellent transport links, a large population and a strong history of boating there is an ever increasing need for their services.

The chandlers listed in this section of our website will help you find out more about the waterways in and around Sheffield and how they relate to those in the rest of Yorkshire. The canal banks in the city centre itself are not really home to chandlers but rather to impressive spectacles of modern architecture, the new canals are picturesque in a very unique way; they are trendy, chic and modern and offer everything that the 21^st century boating fan could ever need. Of course when you venture away from the city you will find rolling hills and beautiful countryside that Yorkshire is famous for, so be sure to spread your wings and flex your boating muscles in order to get the most out the city of Sheffield and its surroundings.
