Pearson’s Canal Companion Kennet and Avon, River Thames
Oxford, Reading Brentford
Revised and updated for 2021. The Canal Companions have been chugging along the ‘cut’ for thirty years; conveying facts and figures, insights and entertainment, wit and wisdom: from Brentford to Burscough, from Shardlow to Sharpness, from Tipton to Todmorden. All manner of folk have been encouraged to explore inland waterways using these guides, which have become as much a part of tradition as their subject matter.
This 3rd edition, updated in 2021, focusses on the Kennet & Avon, linking Bristol with Reading, and the River Thames between Oxford and Brentford, expertly interpreted to inspire you, on foot, afloat or by bicycle.
Michael Pearson has been the author for more than 30 years of this well known series and also the ‘Iron Roads’ series, plus ‘Railway Holiday in Scotland’, ‘Coming up with the Goods’, ‘Me, My Morgan & the Midlands’ and Journeys into Staffordshire’.
