The Lancaster Canal network is a great way to enjoy peace and quiet in the city. John Rennie’s spectacular stone aqueduct over the River Lune, however, nearly doomed the whole project. Having overspent, there was no money left to build the final link at Preston, so the complete canal, from Wigan to Kendal, was
only finally linked together in 2002!
If you get tired of walking, enjoy the scenery from the comfort of Lancaster’s Water Bus. Take in the cityscapes as you cross the Lune Aqueduct, to views over Morecambe Bay as the boat meanders through Hest Bank and Bolton-le-Sands.
THE CANAL BUS STOPS OPPOSITE WATER WITCH IN
LANCASTER & ALSO AT HEST BANK & GALGATE.
