Find out, in their own words, what the Victorians thought about the Thames & Severn Canal and the Stroudwater Navigation. Rowers and canoeists of all ages negotiate low water levels, thick waterweed and lost windlasses as they make their way through 'some of the finest scenery in England'. Using extracts from first-hand accounts, some of which are reprinted here for the first time, the author unlocks the little-known world of nineteenth century holiday-making on canals across the Cotswolds.
