Now in their second decade, Pearson's Canal Companions are generally regarded as the most detailed, informative and downright entertaining guides to the inland waterways for boaters, walkers and a host of other users.
Each title in the series covers a popular route or area with large scale, and highly detailed maps accompanied by a wide ranging commentary, descriptions of waterside towns and villages, and itemised listings on eating and drinking, shopping, visitor centres, public transport and boating facilities. Of particular use to walkers and cyclists is the classification of towpath conditions into three grades. Considerable coverage is given to items of industrial archaeological interest.
Thought provoking, idiosyncratic, romantic, amusing, and occasionally acerbic, the Canal Companions are guarenteed to add enjoyment to any canal itinery; afoot or afloat.

- Oxford Canal
