Customer Reviews

we are boating
No real need to say just how good and, more impotantly, useful and accurate this and all the publications in the series are. Don't go boating without them if you want to know what next (locks, winding holes, pubs and loos lie ahead. Nice to know what that monument up on the hill is all about!

Canal Companion Four Counties Ring
Excellent little book, shows canal information, where to moor up free, canal side pubs and shops. Gives a write up on the area that you pass through along with some historical information.

Goes well with the Four Counties and the Welsh Canals (Collins/Nicholson Waterways Guides) as both provide some different information. ie Four Counties and the Welsh Canals (Collins/Nicholson Waterways Guides)shows which canal pubs allow dogs.
