Guide to the waterways (v. 2)

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.
