The Grand Union Canal, one of the most famous waterways in the UK, links London to Birmingham. This guide explores the southern half of the canal, and its journey from Milton Keynes, through the Home Counties of Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and finally Middlesex before joining the Thames at Brentford in the heart of West London. Revealing much that will appeal to holidaymakers along this stretch of water, this guide also provides historical snippets and useful up-to-date information for the casual sightseer or interested local. Covering an area a mile of two either side of the towpath, it is an invaluable resource for the canal and leisure boater, day tripper, angler or walker.
