Adlard Coles Shore Guide: The Netherlands

Adlard Coles Shore Guide: The Netherlands covers the Dutch waterways from Vlissingen to the German border, including the IJsselmeer and Markermeer, for sailors travelling the Standing Mast Route. It deals with what to do once the boat is tied up: the quieter harbours, where to find shops, fuel, facilities and repairs, and what to see and eat ashore.

Paul Heiney points readers to local food and places, from stroopwafels and Gouda cheese to clog-making workshops and canal-side cafés. The guide is illustrated throughout with photographs and maps.
