Rivers of Britain
Author: Stuart Fisher
Teeming with wildlife, steeped in history, boasting bridges, docks, stunning architecture and a multitude of attractions, Britain's rivers are the country's essential arteries, connecting the inland with the sea.
Covering Britain's best known tidal rivers (the Avon, Severn, Dee, Mersey and Thames), as well as the picturesque Camel, Wye, Orwell and Crouch, the industrial rivers of the Medway, Tyne and Clyde, and right down to the smallest and lesser known waterways, this is so much more than a guidebook. Fascinating detail on history and folklore is woven into practical information on places of interest, riverside pubs, beautiful unfrequented spots, stopping points, rapids, weirs and nearby towns, all illustrated with useful maps and beautiful photography.
For anyone enjoying the rivers for recreation or transportation - for boaters, walkers, bikers, visitors and armchair readers - this captivating guide gives a unique insight into the lifeblood of our country.
