The charity making life better by water

Walking the lift tour

Do you dare to stand on the top of the Anderton Boat Lift?

Get up close to the Anderton Boat Lift?

Our unique behind the scenes tour is not for the faint-hearted, the tour starts in our visitor centre before you're guided out along the aqueduct, taken into the previously unseen control room and machine deck and finally out up on top of the lift!

Book your tour
