They say life’s better by water, but what’s the best way to tap into those benefits?
This celebration of our inland waterways unpacks how they deliver not just in terms of leisure amenities and natural beauty, but also provide solace, places to socialise and a welcome rebalancing for lives increasingly spent indoors and on screens.
Just Add Water suggests scores of activities, adventures and escapes to help us better look after ourselves and our waterways. Covering the length and breadth of the UK, this is the ideal companion for anyone planning a day trip, waterways holiday or simply looking to make the most of the canal, river, lake or reservoir on their doorstep.
Accompanied by stunning images, this handbook includes everything from mudlarking to wild swimming, fishing to foraging towpath hedgerows, paddleboarding to learning how to paint canal folk art. There are also motivating first-hand accounts of the many ways our waterways have made a difference to people’s day-to-day lives.
