The definitive canal guides, afloat or ashore, for anyone with an interest in the 2000 miles of canals and rivers which flow through some of Britain's most beautiful and unspoilt countryside.

The series has been fully revised to include newly opened stretches of waterways throughout the country. Each waterway is fully illustrated with colour Ordnance Survey mapping with navigational symbols and towpaths clearly marked. Essential notes cover planning a cruise, safety on the water, using locks, bridges and winding holes, and the location of boatyards and moorings.

Detailed information is also included on the history of each canal, places of interest along the way and waterside pubs and restaurants. The inclusion of accessible and attractive walks and cycle rides make this the indespensible guide for all users of the inland waterways.
