Boaters' Guides Welcome

Dimension data

Welcome to waterscape.com's Boaters' Guides.

The data contained in this guide is British Waterways' estimate of the dimensions of our waterways based upon local knowledge and expertise. Whilst British Waterways anticipates that this data is reasonably accurate, we cannot guarantee its precision. Therefore, this data should only be used as a helpful guide and you should always use your own judgement taking into account local circumstances at any particular time.

These guides list facilities across the waterway network. This first release of the guides covers the facilities provided by British Waterways on its navigations in England and Wales.

The guides are completely computer-generated. All the information is held in a central database. Whenever you download a guide from waterscape.com, it will take the very latest information and compile a 'fresh' PDF for you.

The same information is used in the maps on waterscape.com itself, to ensure consistency.

It will be regularly updated by local staff whenever details change.
