Linking Preston to Kendal, the Lancaster Canal is one of the country's few coastal canals. Built along the natural lie of the land it offers 41 miles of lock free cruising - the longest stretch in the country. As the canal is naturally level, it also lends itself to gentle walking and cycling as well as canoeing and other outdoor activities. And we've loads of trails and routes to help you take advantage of this wellbeing resource on your doorstep.

The harbour at Glasson originally opened in 1787, following the demise of Lancaster as a port, and was at its height the largest port in the north west, importing cotton, sugar, spices and slaves from Africa and the Indies. Its connection to the Lancaster Canal was important in allowing the distribution of cargo landed at the port into the heart of industrial Lancashire. Glasson is still active today, handling over 150,000 tonnes of cargo annually.

Beautiful cycle path along the Lancaster Canal with many highlights.

Nice leg stretch climbing in either direction.

Starting address for the Jubilee Tower free parking is Scotforth Rd, Abbeystead, Lancaster LA2 0QR. Easy parking and not too many people around. Quite a hot day 22C. Amazing views across the bays and well worth the hike to get to Ward Stone , the highest point in the Trough of Bowland. Later part of the walk is a gravel road, which made a nice change from the hike up. As it was a sunny day, the walk was nice and easy, however on a wet day it could be quite difficult with the gullies to get across on the way up. Dry or wet, it's well worth the trip, on a clear day you can see Balckkpool tower!.

The trig point at this end of the ridge and the eastern edge of the Forest of Bowland stands at 413m. It offers amazing views west out over Lancaster to Morecombe Bay and north-west to the Lake District. The ridgeline from here to Ward's Stone and beyond is a great run, it can be turned into a loop from any of the local car parks.

I cycled from Garstang towards Lancaster earlier this week. For a lot of the 7 or 8 miles I did, the vegetation was shoulder high, and leaning across the path at times. Proceed with caution.
