This 16-lock flight at Marple is a spectacular sight, and one of the steepest flights in Britain. Visit beautiful countryside and nearby Marple Aqueduct for a family day out.
It's an absolutely fascinating part of our industrial heritage. Not only does Marple boast Benjamin Outram's splendid stone Marple Aqueduct, together with its slightly higher railway viaduct neighbour running parallel. But you're sure to bump into Oldknow - the man who made Marple.
Visit our welcome station for more information, located at the top of Marple's famous lock flight, near to the junction with the Macclesfield Canal.
