Barging Round Britain

This is the official companion to Great British Canal Journeys, an 8-part series coming to prime-time ITV in January 2015. The show will be presented by hugely popular TV journalist John Sergeant, who will also be contributing a foreword and introductions to this book.

Great British Canal Journeys will be a beautifully illustrated guide to the country's canal network. Tracing routes across the UK, from the gentle downs of Somerset to the dramatic splendour of the Hebrides, it will explore the people and places that have forged this national treasure, from the birth of the Industrial Revolution to the 2012 Olympics.
