Four Counties Ring Pearson`s Canal Companion

Four Counties Ring Pearson`s Canal Companion from Wayzgoose, showing sections of the Trent and Mersey Canal, the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, the Shropshire Union, the Caldon Canal, the Trent Navigation, and the Weaver Navigation.Pearson’™s Canal Companions have for over 30 year now been presenting Britain’™s network of inland waterways on handy size, informative guides which combine practical information with interesting descriptions and facts about the surrounding countryside.The routes are shown in sections on maps at approx. 2″ to 1 mile, and are annotated with locks, towpaths and nearby facilities. Rather than providing a more technical picture of each waterway (depth, clearance, etc), these guides are indeed true ‘œcompanions” with the accompanying descriptions full of interesting historical or literary references, little know facts, etc. Where appropriate the maps are also accompanied by recommendations for eating and drinking, shopping, things to do, and public transport connections. Each guide also includes a boating directory with hire bases, boatyards, ferries, etc.Please note: Pearson’™s Canal Companions sometimes indicate facilities and/or places of interest without showing detailed road access to them; it’™s perhaps advisable to use these charming companions with proper road maps of the surrounding countryside.
