Canal Hunter - Britain's Waterways Past & Present

Canal Hunter - indulging my fascination with the UK's 4,000 miles of inland waterways, past and present.

The videos on this channel are dominated by canal history, but also include some current affairs and boat maintenance topics.

Each year we spend the summer months aboard our narrowboat Briar Rose, travelling the length and breadth of the country, visiting many canal festivals selling our hand made Wild Side Preserves .

We are fortunate to live next to the Birmingham Canal Navigations, a 100 mile network of urban canals which criss cross Birmingham and The Black Country. Unpicking the history of this unique network of rarely travelled canals forms forms the backbone of the channel. Some of the topics covered find their way into the pages of Waterways World and NarrowBoat Magazines.

It's great to have your company as I explore this incredible legacy of the Industrial Revolution.
