Severn and Avon Pearson Canal Companion

Description

This canal companion describes the Severn and Avon rivers, along with full coverage of the popular Avon and Mid-Worcestershire ‘rings’.

The River Severn is covered all the way from Stourport to Gloucester (accompanied by the charming Severn Way long distance path). Here the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal takes over to the shores of the Bristol Channel. The River Avon is covered from Tewkesbury to Stratford, along with the lovely Stratford-on-Avon Canal, the Worcester & Birmingham Canal (with its well-known flight of locks at Tardebigge), Droitwich Canal, the Grand Union (from Birmingham to Braunston), and the Cotswold Canals between Framilode and Lechlade.

The Severn and Avon Pearson Canal companion uses large scale maps and diagrams that are accompanied by a wide-ranging documentary. It is of particular interest to boaters, walkers and cyclists providing descriptions of waterside towns and villages, listings on eating and drinking, shopping, visitor centres, public transport and boating facilities.

Published in 2020, this is the 8th Edition of this Severn and Avon, Mid-Worcestershire Ring, and Cotswold Canals Pearson Canal Companion. It has been fully revised with the page count increasing from 96 pages to 160 pages.
