Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Most of us are aware of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the busy manufacturing town of Luton, Bedfordshire, but fewer will be familiar with the waterway linking these two locations. Using myriad sources, Professor Lewis maps out the entire length of the River Lee Navigation, detailing the countless points of interest on the way. From locks to reservoirs, nature reserves to country parks and with the former Gunpowder Mill and Small Arms Factory thrown in for good measure, the author shows his passion for the area's rich industrial heritage as well as its flora and fauna. Whether walking, biking or boating, this book will help readers to discover the secrets and the unique charm of this little-known area.
