Move it!

Horses, engines, boats, locks and more in this interactive gallery.

Packed with intricate models, hands-on displays and real working engines, this dynamic gallery looks at the ingenious workings of the locks and boats on our waterways.

You can navigate a lock, race boats to test out different designs and try your hand at boat building and traditional decoration on one of our computer displays.

Just add water! Kids of all ages will enjoy getting their hands wet and discovering for themselves how canals work.
