A collection of line and wash, and gouache, illustrations of views along the Louth Navigation, with historic mapping and brief descriptions.

Opened in 1770 as a commercial route linking inland Louth with the Humber Estuary and from there with other ports along inland waterways and with coastal routes and beyond, the Louth Navigation now serves as a leisure route for canoeists, sailboarders and for walkers. The eleven miles or so of towpath through open countryside affords glorious views to the Linconshire Wolds and across the marshes to the 'German Ocean' (now North Sea).

The seventeen images in this book, with supporting commentary, illustrate key aspects of the Louth Navigation.
