Seasonal passage
The Liverpool Canal Link is a seasonal passage, open from April until October, annually, and provides a navigable route from the bottom of the existing Stanley Lock Flight on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal to Liverpool's South Docks, including our visitor mooring, Salthouse Dock.
Passage via the Liverpool Canal Link is available daily, excluding Tuesdays. To book, choose your dates of your return passage and pick your preferred pontoon within Salthouse Dock. Mooring charges will be calculated at the time of booking. Please note, pontoons are available on a first come, first served basis.
If you require a passage to access third party marinas only, please speak with our North West Customer Support Team by calling 0303 040 4040.
Stanley Lock Flight, Prince's Lock and Mann Island Lock are all customer operated with roving lock keepers and volunteers available for guidance.
