The Cotswolds are one of the most attractive and visited areas in
England. The main canals in the region, the Stroudwater and Thames
& Severn Canals, cross the Cotswolds from east to west and
penetrate some of the most picturesque areas like the Golden Valley
and Chalford. Built between 1775 and 1789, the two canals are
thirty-seven miles long with fifty-seven locks. Their most
interesting features include the impressive groups of locks
climbing steeply from Stroud and the famous Sapperton Tunnel, about
two and a quarter miles long - the third longest canal tunnel ever
built in England. This walking guide, revised for its new edition,
takes its readers along the towpath pointing out the main features
and giving points of access and public rights of way. Clear,
detailed maps show the route, and historical photographs illustrate
features along the towpath and show the canal and those who lived
and worked upon it.
