Official companion to a new TV series exploring Britain's best canal journeys.
This is the official companion to Barging Through Britain, an 8-part series coming
to prime-time ITV in February 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.
Barging Through Britain 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.
