“a brilliant selection...
...celebrates not just the walks, but the history, wildlife, pubs and teashops along the way. It's written with a real sense of fun, packed with both nice-to-know and need-to-know information.”
Country Walking magazine June 2010 (See whole feature here)
“a charming new book, packed with evocative photographs, showcasing the best canalside walks in Britain...
...To experience the life of a canal is to escape the world of airports and motorways and reconnect with a world in which nothing moves faster than a duck.”
Daily Telegraph April 2010 (See whole review here)
“We really enjoyed the first book by Phillippa and Martine (Cool Canals-The Guide) and these latest two handy sized guides are equally inspired....
...More than anything these two delightful guides are full of character and charm making them a perfect companion for weekend walks and holidays. We love them, they really are a guide to 'Cool Places' and we highly recommend them!”

“With its evocative photographs, ...'Cool Canals' is a stirring reminder of just how much more to canals there is than canals...
...Perhaps, in their paean to canals, these two wacky, counter-cultural women really have captured something of the Zeitgeist. Coolness isn't a fast car any more. It isn't a crowded cocktail bar. It certainly isn't a Caribbean beach, rubber-necking at celebrities. It is knowing when to slow down, take time out, commune with nature, savour pleasures too precious to be rushed. ”
Daily Telegraph 5 September 2009 (See whole feature here)
“...this original and imaginative introduction to Britain's canal network is packed with ideas for inspiring days out.”
WALK (Ramblers' Association) Autumn 2009 (See whole review here)
“Whether you’re after an active day out or just fancy a spot of 'gongoozling' (canal watching) from the comfort of a waterside inn, Cool Canals is a charming, beautifully illustrated introduction to life in the slow lane.”
CARAVAN CLUB Editor's Review July 2009 (See whole review here)
“As well as an inspiring story behind the publication, this book is an absolute delight...
...Highly Recommended as an essential guide, with beautiful photography and a great first publication.”
Hot Brands Cool Places July 2009 (See the whole review here)
“The book reminds me in its style of the highly popular Mr & Mrs Smith 'Hip Hotels' guides - it's well laid out with superb photography...
...'Cool canals' will open many fascinating, inspirational doors”
Canals & Rivers July 2009 (See the whole review here)
“...a splendid publication...
Don't plan a day out or holiday on the canals without getting hold of a copy!”
Waterways World June 2009 (See the whole review here)
“A genuine new player is always welcome and I think this company may have produced a guide that absolutely presses all the right buttons”
