Nicholson/Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways (v. 4)

Recommended by British Waterways, this newly researched 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. Also: * the history of each canal, * places of interest, * pubs and restaurants, * opportunities for walking and cycling. 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. Rival publications cover one canal or canal-ring only. Nicholson guides have logical groupings of waterways: all recognised circular routes are contained within single editions. Newly restored canals also included. Waterways covered in this guide -- Caldon and Leek Canals, Llangollen Canal, Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal, Montgomery Canal, Shropshire Union Canal, Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, Trent & Mersey Canal, River Weaver.
