A tourist map of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal & Aire & Calder & Calder & Hebble Navigations at 1:50, 000, with detailed town plans of Skipton, Bingley, Leeds, Wakefield, Mirfield, Brighouse & Sower Bridge at 1:12, 500. Suitable for both waterways & leisure users. This map gives detailed coverage of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, from Foulridge to Leeds, the Aire & Calder & Calder & Hebble Navigations from Leeds to Knottingley & Castleford to Sowerby Bridge with emphasis on the waterways & information useful & relevant to users of the waterways without neglecting other leisure users. The map detail is complimented by information panels & photographs. The Leeds & Liverpool Canal is a popular cruising route & although a lengthy canal to navigate or explore all in one visit, the settlements, canal features & ever changing landscapes along its route make it worthy of return visits by boat, car, bicycle or on foot. As with many of the canals on the system it is a canal of real contrasts, in places it is quiet & tranquil, in others vibrant & bustling. The canal skirts the Yorkshire Dales National Park near Gargrave, offering some of the most picturesque views anywhere on the network. It passes Saltaire, a World Heritage Site & at Bingley there`s the stunning Bingley Five Rise Locks considered one of the Wonders of the Waterways. From Leeds city centre the Aire & Calder heads past the regenerated Leeds Dock, home to the Royal Armouries Museum, south to Castleford. At Castleford Junction the main line heads eastwards to the port of Goole, via Knottingley (the extent of this map), whilst the Wakefield Branch heads westwards to Wakefield. Both the Aire & Calder & Calder & Hebble Navigations were originally rivers that were significant changed with numerous cuts to make them more viable for commercial traffic. It is due to the commercial nature of the waterway that the locks on the Aire & Calder are 200ft (61m) long. The Calder & Hebble runs for 21 miles between Sowerby Bridge & Wakefield, along alternating stretches of river & cuts. Places of interest include the waterside Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, the basin at Sowerby Bridge with fine canalside buildings, covered docks & home to Shire Cruisers, Brighouse with interesting shops & buildings & split level basin, Salterhebble Locks featuring one of the very few functioning guillotine locks & a short arm into Dewsbury.

This map gives detailed coverage of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, from Liverpool to Keighley, with emphasis on the waterways & information useful & relevant to users of the waterways without neglecting other leisure users.

For centuries the Pennines presented a barrier to cross country trade in the north. Eventually the growth of the cotton & textile industries led to the construction of a canal between Liverpool & Leeds. It was built as a broad canal which permitted wide beamed boats, capable of carrying greater loads, enabling it to be a success. Today the Leeds & Liverpool Canal is a popular cruising route & although a lengthy canal to navigate or explore all in one visit, the settlements, canal features & ever changing landscapes along its route make it worthy of return visits by boat, car, bicycle or on foot. As with many of the canals on the system it is a canal of real contrasts, in places it is quiet & tranquil, in others vibrant & bustling. The once shabby nearly unnavigable Liverpool end has been revitalised now that the Liverpool Canal Link is open, creating a passageway through an important historic city & port, whilst at the opposite end the waterfront area of Leeds is undergoing an exciting transformation.
