10 Interesting facts About the Leeds Liverpool Canal

Title photo: five interesting facts about the Leeds and Liverpool canal

At a whopping 127 miles long, the Leeds & Liverpool Canal holds the record for being the longest canal in Britain built as a single waterway. It took a total of 46 years to complete!

The tunnel at Foulridge was opened in 1796. A tale that has passed into local folklore tells of a cow that fell into the water and swan the whole length of the Foulridge Tunnel before being pulled out at the other end and revived with brandy


In the 1950's & 1960's, waterway enthusiasts including members of the Mersey Motor Boat Club tried hard to keep the canal open and navigable using a variety of boats including converted life boats

Following the £22 million creation of the Liverpool Canal link, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal now extends right into the hear of Liverpool's historic Albert Dock.
