Bridgewater Canal
Considered the inspiration for 'Canal Mania', the 28 miles of Bridgewater Canal is more noteworthy for its innovation than its scenery.
The coal mines at Worsley which prompted its construction can still be seen, and the impressive Barton Swing Aqueduct is quite unique.
Also known as 'The Duke's Cut', the Bridgewater Canal is now an integral part of the Cheshire Cruising Ring. One of the original cruising rings of the modern canal era, it encompasses rolling Cheshire countryside and the rugged Pennines.
