Welcome to Coolcanals Guides
We think we know some of the best-kept secrets of Britain's inland waterways. We're totally independent, travelling the canals by boat, bike and boot from the sands of Cornwall to the Highlands of Scotland

We aim to inspire and inform you with our guidebooks, and our online guide offers comprehensive information on every leisure activity you can think of, from boating to canalside festivals.
