Bingley Five Rise Locks are one of the most awesome features on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. They are the steepest staircase locks, on the longest canal in the country. Probably why it's one of our Seven wonders of the waterways.
Actually, Bingley boasts two sets of locks - the larger lock flight features the five locks and stunning views of the Aire Valley. At the top of the flight there is a cafe and a private mooring site for boats.
A little further down the towpath are the three locks. Together they form a very popular spot to ride your bike, take a walk or dangle a rod.
