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.

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.

Links the village of Bielby to the road running between Melbourne and Allerthorpe. The disused Coat's Lock is immediately adjacent just to the north of the bridge, and the bridge was Grade II listed in 2010.

Picturesque head of Pocklington Canal with parking, picnic spots and a Pocklington Canal Amenity Society visitor centre. The upper part of the canal is now disused with lots of derelict locks, however, there are several parking spots along the lower half of the canal that is still navigable. https://www.pocklingtoncanalsociety.org/maps

A beautiful rural canal of two halves, the upper reaches of the Pocklington Canal between Canal Head and Melbourne is characterised by un-restored locks, tree lined towpaths, and classic humpbacked bridges. Only the lower reaches of the canal is open to boats, lying in an open landscape of floodplains and meadows, rich in wildlife, and identifiable by its distinctive swing bridges. Once threatened, the canal was saved by the work of local volunteers and campaigners, and is now home to three Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Look out for Church Bridge and Swing Bridge No. 7 on the Pocklington Canal – both recently restored. Lots of history on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocklington_Canal Maps (and other useful pages) on the Pocklington Canal Amenity Society website: https://www.pocklingtoncanalsociety.org/maps

This is a beautiful rural canal that stretches 9.5 miles (15 km) between East Cottingwith and Canal Head. The canal path is lined with trees and passes by numerous original locks and elegant humpbacked bridges. It's a delightful stretch of walking – truly.
