People planning Canal Boat Holidays in the UK this year have been given a helping hand deciding what to see and do on their break, after two new books were added to the Cool Canals series. The series of books, written by Phillippa Greenwood and Martine O'Callaghan, provide information for people out and about on the waterways to help them get the most out of their trip. Weekend Walks, which was described by the Telegraph as 'showcasing the best canalside walks in Britain, from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands', is available alongside Pub Days Out, for those who prefer their Canal Boat Holidays in the UK with a pint of ale. 'To experience the life of a canal is to escape the world of airports and motorways and reconnect with a world in which nothing moves faster than a duck,' the newspaper added. The Cool Canals series also includes the Guide, which posits itself as the complete introduction to spending leisure time around the UK's waterway network, featuring suggestions for activities like bike rides and walks. |
