Inland Waterways Books

Our Inland Waterways collection celebrates both the rich heritage of canals and rivers and the practical aspects of living and cruising on these waterways. These books explore everything from historical development to narrowboat maintenance, from liveaboard lifestyles to the culture of canal communities.

You'll find practical guides for narrowboat ownership alongside historical accounts of canal development. Resources cover boat systems specific to inland vessels, space-saving solutions for compact living, and maintenance advice for canal boats. Whether you're considering purchasing a narrowboat, already living aboard, or simply fascinated by the unique world of inland waterways, these books offer both practical knowledge and cultural context without focusing on navigation information that would be found in our cruising guides section.
