Leeds & Liverpool – West Yorkshire Waterways (Pearson) 2022 edition
£11.95
This Canal Companion covers all 127 miles of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal including the increasingly popular ‘Liverpool Link’.
Canals turn Tourists into Pilgrims! At three miles an hour – afoot or afloat – there’s time to savour the landscape in ways that most ‘hundred miles an hour’ lifestyles won’t allow. Not without irony, 18th and 19th century trade routes are now a powerful source of rest and relaxation for millions from all walks of life. Pearson’s Canal Companions have been guiding people to a greater understanding of the inland waterways network for over forty years. They are the equivalent of a programme at a concert, theatre production of sporting event: a source of inspiration, interpretation and souvenir all wrapped up within one traditionally sign-written cover.
