Few people immediately associate canals with either art or walking, yet Britain’s waterways actually provide ample resource for both of these as writer Roger Squires and photographer Gareth Lovett Jones demonstrate in this delightful book covering 17 walkable canals in England and Wales.

Sometimes derelict and neglected, sometimes refurbished and popular, the canal towpaths described in this book offer the walker glimpses of rural countryside and industrial townscapes of charm, fascination and peace. But this book has another dimension; It is a plea for the fuller utilisation of our canals and for the rights of cyclists to easy access the towpaths.
Whether the reader wants to plan a canal side holiday, follow a particular canal, or armchair travel along the pleasant waterways, Canal Walks is a book to cherish and refer to again and again.

- the Royal Military Canal
- the Limehouse Cut and the Lea Navigation
