The Natural Waterways of Great Britain: A Traveller's Guide to Rental Boating

Michael and Laura Murphy show that anyone can easily and affordably rent such a boat and enjoy the vast natural waterways of England, Wales, and Scotland. Comfortable live-aboard cabin cruisers may be rented by the week and self-skippered by anyone old enough to drive a car. Experience is not needed-only a desire to enjoy travel in a different and enriching way. Kick back and float toward sights unapproachable by land, such as remote wildlife sanctuaries and monastic ruins.

This essential guidebook gives adventurous travelers all they need to know to explore the six natural waterways of Britain, including:

--planning the trip from afar --choosing the right boat --making a trip budget --where to travel-on water and on shore

It features England's Norfolk Broads, the Royal Thames from London to Gloucestershire, Cambridgeshire's Great Ouse and the Cam, the Avon and the Severn, and Scotland's Highland Lakes and the Great Glen.
