The canals in the U.K are a major part of the network of inland waterways. Originally many routes were used for industrial transport or irrigation, today they are mainly used for recreational purposes such as boating holidays, fishing and some lovely canalside cottages provide perfect family self catering accommodation . There are around 2,200 miles of canals and rivers in the UK, many of which are in the care of British Waterways. Their role is is to protect the historic waterways to ensure that they can be used by us now and enjoyed by future generations.
