The very next paragraph says "here are a few of the best canal and river towpath routes", which is a lot less presciptive.

The chosen ones do seem a bit Northern biased with a bit of Midlands thrown in.

No mention of Kennet and Avon, which is one of the best I have ridden. Also Grand Union in and north of London. etc, etc.

That article seems to give the impression " do you agree?" but there is no way to advive them of additions?
