A tourist map of the Birmingham Canal Navigations is at extra large scale of 1:30,000, with a detailed town plan of Central Birmingham at 1:10,000. Suitable for both waterways and leisure users.This map gives detailed coverage of the BCN with emphasis on the waterways and information useful and relevant to users of the waterways without neglecting other leisure users. The map detail is complimented by information panels and photographs.Includes navigation and historical information, visitor moorings, marinas and boatyards, boat hire centres, facilities for the boat user, sailing and boat clubs, shops, post offices and distance markers. Information for the tourist includes tourist information centres, places of interest, pubs, nature reserves, parks, gardens and open areas, churches, national cycle routes, long distance paths, public toilets, youth hostels and towpath access points.One of the world’™s most intricate canal networks, the Birmingham Canal Navigations originally totalled some 160 miles; sadly a significant amount has been lost, but the remaining 100 miles still leave much to see and explore.Gas Street Basin in the city centre was once the hub of the network, whilst the working boats may have disappeared it’™s still bustling, only now with pleasure craft. The basin is a mixture of both old and new, restored canal buildings, vibrant restaurants, bars and cafรฉs, entertainment venues like the International Convention Centre, National Indoor Arena and theatres, as well as just being minutes from shopping centres and New Street Station. Despite much of the BCN being urban, there are quieter waters to be found meandering through more suburban and rural areas such as the lock free Wyrley and Essington Canal.To see the list of other titles in this series, please click on the series link.
