    Tips

    September 28, 2021

    From 1819, the Lancaster Canal ran all the way to Kendal, bringing prosperity to the region. Coal was transported into the town, while limestone, slate and locally manufactured goods were exported.

    However, the coming of the railways in the mid 19th century meant that the canal began to decline. After the Second World War, this once important artery was no longer needed and it became an ideal site for landfill. Today, you can still walk along the course of the old canal. The trail links nicely with a riverside stroll along the Kent.

        Very strange to see the bridges which used to cross the canal just appear in the middle of fields with no apparent purpose.
