Inland Waterways of Ireland

Description

The author has compiled this volume to provide essential information on all the rivers and waterways of the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland. She uses the same succesful pattern familiar to users of her Inland Waterways of Great Britain to describe each waterway. There are interesting general sections which describe the geography and history, and these are followed by details of locks, bridges, regulations and notes on dimentions. The distance tables are supported by fully illustrated two-colour maps and photographs. Alongside many of the principle waterways you can sample fine food and wines in good restaurants, cafes and pubs, and this book includes a few personal recommendations as a gastronomic starting point for visitors new to the area.The only title to comprehensively cover the inland waterways of Ireland in a single volume.
