Our canals are home to over 2,700 listed structures, 50 scheduled ancient monuments and four UNESCO world heritage sites. Just by walking along a 20 minute stretch of towpath you're likely to pass numerous heritage structures ranging from smaller iconic items such as milestones, to working structures such as lock gates and swing bridges.
Our canals and rivers are also lined with truly magnificent structures such as the Pontycysyllte Aqueduct and Anderton Boat Lift. If it's size that matters to you, the canals are a great place to view historic engineering projects on a grand scale.
