Map of the Inland Waterways of Great Britain
First published over 60 years ago when interest in reviving Britain's network of navigable and rivers was starting to gather pace, this map provides the best coverage of the system in England, Wales and Scotland. Distances, the number of locks and restricting dimensions are given for each waterway. The simple cartography defines rivers, broad and narrow canals against generalized relief and the major road network. The 2016 edition has been updated to show progress in restoration schemes and other changes.
The standard reference to the waterways of England, Wales and Scotland has been completely revised. The 8th edition retains the format of previous editions but, throughout, details are updated and the work has been widened in its scope to appeal not only to navigators but to all users of the waterways. Full colour throughout.
With over 2,000 miles of navigable waterway in the UK, Britain's canals are an asset to be treasured by everyone. Nick Corble has written an accessible guide which will help you get the best out of a visit or a boating holiday on the canal network.
Whether your interest lies in the history, the flora and fauna to be found along the towpath, or even the types of boats and their decoration, there is enough in "Britain's Canals: A Handbook" to inform and entertain you. Seeking to appeal to and aid the interested tourist, dog-walker, passer-by, or even hopeful boat-buyer, this handbook is packed with tips, hints and useful facts, presented in layman's terms and helping the reader discover what makes our canals so special. A wealth of illustrations in full colour makes this the perfect primer for anyone who wants to know more about Britain's waterways.
Nick Corble writes extensively on canals and there is little he does not know about the network of waterways that criss-cross Britain. This is his seventh book on canals and canal history.
