The Leeds to Liverpool canal is a 127mile stretch of canal between the two cities. It's no longer an industrial route but very well used for leisure. Here a small footbridge gives a crossing point and allows walkers to make circular routes.

The bridge can also be easily reached on the circular walk around the Pennington Flash.
