Lower parts of rivers are often tidal and should not be navigated by inexperienced captains. The most famous one is the Grand Union Canal connecting London with Birmingham. These are the waterways of the Midlands built to take boats of 7 feet wide. They form the dense network of inland connections between navigable rivers and broad canals. Access to these canals is restricted to the typical English narrowboats, which are unique to Europe.
