Publisher's Synopsis
Newly researched. This guide features 4-colour Ordnance Survey mapping, with facilities and towpaths clearly shown, and comprehensive navigational notes. Newly restored/opened canals and rivers are included.
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.
Waterways covered in this guide - Aire & Calder Navigation, Bridgewater Canal, Calder & Hebble Navigation, Huddersfield Broad Canal, Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Lancaster Canal, Leeds & Liverpool Canal, Macclesfield Canal, Peak Forest and Ashton Canals, Rochdale Canal, Trent & Mersey Canal.
