Beautiful walks;ks along the canal towards Gargrave. Beyond Gargrave is one of the most picturesque stretches of the canal as it winds its way up near Bank Newton.

Head over to nearby Skipton and enjoy a casual stroll along the scenic Leeds-Liverpool canal or book one of the 30-minute narrowboat trips

Crossing the Pennines for 127 miles, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal was a massive undertaking that helped kindle the Industrial Revolution in the north. In 1810, Blackburn became the last major town to be connected to the waterway, and on its opening, the first barges transported some 380 tons of coal, as well as timber, lead, yarn, tallow, molasses, malt and oil. Nearly all of the towpath in Blackburn is accessible to pedestrians and will usher you past historic bridges, locks and curious pieces of old infrastructure like the aqueduct at Ewood and the evocative Eanam Wharf. Four miles west of Blackburn, Canal Boat Cruises of Riley Green has a schedule of trips in the summer, but also offers charter cruises and hires out narrowboats if you want to explore more of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal on your own.
