Newly researched. This guide features 4-colour Ordnance Survey mapping, with boating facilities and towpaths clearly shown. 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 - Chelmer & Blackwater, Grand Union Canal, Lee & Stort Navigations, Oxford Canal, River Medway, River Thames, Wendover Arm of GU.
