UK Canal Maps and our Canal Boating Blog
Birmingham Ring Interactive Map is now released, The ring is about 45 miles and go through 49 locks. We have 82 locations mapped so far.
Please let me know if I have missed anything using our Facebook group.
This morning I have just completed my first draft of the Leicester Ring Interactive Map, these take a lot of work and I am sure I have probably missed a lot of interesting locations, so as always still more work to do, but please take a look, always looking for recommendations.
This map joins the our maps of The Avon Ring and The Cheshire Ring with more in the works.
