The Macclesfield & Upper Peak Forest
Canals Guide
The society has published a 48 page A5 booklet, The Macclesfield & Upper Peak Forest Canals Guide.
Most recent edition published May 2002. Now out of print. Try watching for a copy on eBay.
The guide contains a description of the canals' route with some history, pictures and other interesting information together with details of facilities, shops, pubs, etc. of value to boaters (but beware that some information is now out of date). It also contains general maps giving locational information more suitable to road users.
This edition includes the Upper Peak Forest Canal, with its own map. This inclusion reflects the big increase in traffic up the Macc since the restoration of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the Bugsworth Basins.
The guide is supported by advertising to enable the low price. Profits go The Macclesfield Canal Society. The first edition was favourably reviewed in Waterways World, June 1998 p.62.
