Based on the acclaimed canal guide series in Canoeist, this is a comprehensive and absorbing survey of Britain’s canal network and provides a fascinating insight into the linked up waterways as well as the isolated cuts and quiet waters which may not be navigable by larger craft. From Tiverton Basin on the Grand Western Canal to the Beauly Firth at the end of the Caledonian Canal, Britain has a unique canal network. Infinitely varied, it passes picturesque open countryside, wild moorland, coastal harbours, historic industrial buildings, modern city centres, canalside public houses and abundant wildlife. Every aspect of the canals is examined, their construction, rich history, stunning scenery, heritage, incredible engineering, impressive architecture and even their associated folklore, wildlife and art. Enticing photographs give a flavour of each place and places of interest close to the canals are included. This third edition is updated and expanded with stunning new photography. Packed with maps and fascinating text, it is an attractive, inspiring and practical guide for boaters, walkers, bikers, holidaymakers, riders and everyone else who uses the canals and towpaths throughout the year.
