Publisher's Synopsis
Recommended by British Waterways, this newly researched, spiral bound guide gives complete coverage of the inland waterways network. Featuring 4-colour Ordnance Survey mapping, with facilities and towpaths clearly shown, and comprehensive navigational notes.
Navigational notes include:
planning a cruise,
using a lock and bridges,
winding holes,
boatyards and local services,
the history of each canal,
places of interest,
pubs and restaurants.
Rival publications cover one canal or canal-ring only. Nicholson guides have logical groupings of waterways: all canals and recognised circular routes are contained within single editions. Newly restored canals also included.
Practical spiral binding makes the guide easy-to-use. A flap around the foredge clearly identifies the guide and provides for better display in retail outlets.
Waterways covered in this guide - River Avon, Birmingham Canal Navigations, Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and the River Severn, Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, Stourbridge and Dudley Canals, Stratford-on-Avon Canal, Worcester & Birmingham Canal.
