Nick's Canal Route Planner - Canalplan AC is a comprehensive guide to the UK's inland waterways, it plans journeys, calculates the length (distance, number of locks, time taken etc) of your trip and shows gazetteer information on places along the way (pubs, shops and museums). Canalside events you might pass are listed. If you have never used the software before, I recommend that you read the introduction before going any further.

The Waterways are under threat - see Save Our Waterways campaign.

This is the now almost obsolete release of CanalPlanAC, but all development effort is now going into a new version. You can explore the new version here. I'm leaving this version live until I've migrated all the data and saved routes, after which this will replaced by that version.

Quote Of The Day

A poet may lament - 'where is Telford
whose bridged canals are still a Shropshire glory?'
