Pearson's Canal Companion - East Midlands

Canals turn Tourists into Pilgrims!

At three miles an hour - afoot or afloat - there's time to savour the landscape in ways that most 'hundred mile an hour' lifestyles won't allow. Not without irony, 18th and 19th century trade routes are now a powerful source of rest and relaxation for millions from all walks of life.

Pearson's Canal Companions have been guiding people to a greater understanding of the inland waterways network for more than 35 years. They are the equivalent of a programme at a concert, theatre production or sporting event: a source of inspiration, interpretation and souvenir all wrapped up within one traditionally sign-written cover.

Coverage:

• Grand Union Canal - Stoke Bruerne to Leicester
• River Soar
• Erewash Canal
• Trent Navigation - Derwent Mouth to Cromwell
• River Nene - Northampton to Peterborough
