Canal Shop Co - Heron maps

About Heron Maps
Heron Maps was formed by the people who found themselves out of a job when GEOprojects closed down their canal map section.

2010 saw the arrival of The Broads and the Kennet & Avon Canal maps. 2011 has seen the River Thames, Llangollen & Montgomery Canals and the Oxford Canal so far. Planned for later in 2011 are the Grand Union (centre section) and possibly the Mon & Brec. Spring 2012 should see the appearance of the Leeds & Liverpool and the BCN.
