Towpaths of England

Highly illustrated with maps and black and white drawings this book shows easy to walk routes through tranquil English countryside. All the walks are along canals (no river navigations) and the emphasis is on northern waters which is no surprise given the author's background. However, some southern walks are included, notably the Regent's Canal and the Chelmer & Blackwater. Stretches of the Grand Union are included and the author concentrates on the Market Harborough to Leicester section, a section near Solihull and the Northampton arm.
