ソーントンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Not much room for pedestrians on this bridge, but there are recesses / alcoves. Both ends of the bridge have traffic lights and one-way traffic alternates. Time your crossing to avoid getting squashed by Yorkshire drivers!

Great walk.

The first of 5 disused locks between the canal head and Coat's Bridge. Although the next 4 (Silburn, Giles, Sandhill and Coat's Locks) are derelict, Top Lock's principal structure is relatively intact, and the lock gates and manual and hydraulic gearing mechanisms have been restored to traditional design.

Silburn Lock is the second of 5 disused locks as you walk from the canal head at Pocklington towards Coat's Bridge.

Giles Lock is quite easy to see, not as overgrown as some of the others, and the canal is but a shadow of its former self immediately south of the lock.

Very overgrown and difficult to see, this is one of 5 disused and derelict locks between the canal head at Pocklington and Coat's Bridge.

Swingbridge No. 7 and mooring for up to 11 boats moored against finger pontoons. There is a path that leads into the the village, emerging right next to the Melbourne Arms pub.

Pivots on the south bank of the canal, and the brick walls on the south bank and east side of the bridge make for a useful rest area as there are no other benches nearby.
