An intrepid journey along England's great rivers, from their humble beginnings to where they meet the sea. Travel writer Tom Chesshyre embarks on a series of adventures exploring the Thames, Severn, Trent, Ouse and other iconic waterways that have shaped the nation's history, industry and identity.

With characteristic wit and curiosity, Chesshyre uncovers forgotten stories, meets colourful characters, and reveals how these liquid highways continue to influence modern Britain. From tranquil countryside tributaries to urban industrial arteries, this is both a love letter to England's rivers and a fresh perspective on the landscapes and communities they connect.

Perfect for anyone fascinated by waterways, industrial heritage, or simply keen to discover Britain from an entirely new angle.
