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.
