Developed from the guides in Canoeist, this book is similar in format to the best selling Canals of Britain. This comprehensive and fascinating guide to Britain’s river navigations explores routes known and unknown, from world famous rivers like the Thames and the Severn to hidden backwaters like the Wharfe, the Wissey and the Lark. Along the way this absorbing survey discovers the world’s largest castle, hills that are actually below sea level, mansions and palaces, rural idylls and hubs of modern industry. It is an attractive and inspiring but also practical guide, featuring history and folklore, engineering and architecture, riverbank art and waterside pubs. Beautiful photography captures the stunning scenery and helpful maps link everything together.
