Nicholson guide to the waterways. 3 Birmingham & the heart of England - David Perrott

Newly researched. This guide features 4-colour Ordnance Survey mapping, with 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 - Ashby Canal, Birmingham Canal Navigations, Birmingham & Fazeley Canal, Coventry Canal, Erewash Canal, Grand Union Canal, Oxford Canal, Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, Stratford-on-Avon Canal and Worcester & Birmingham Canal, Trent & Mersey Canal.
