In this exciting new series of Waterways, Dick Warner returns to the inland waterways of Ireland, this time to the newly restored Royal Canal. He will be taking Rambler, an original 70ft Royal Canal Tug Barge, built in 1878, from Dublin to Lough Ree. The last time Rambler travelled the Royal Canal was 1923. On this epic journey, Dick meets both experts and ordinary people who live along the banks, learning from them about its heritage, history and wildlife.
