Mini 3 Galgate & Glasson Locks 1 & 2

[Paul Iddon]

Look out for the close call with the bridge....

Galgate Waterside and Marina is situated on the Lancaster Canal. In a picturesque setting at the edge of the village, it’s in a great location for exploring the north west, or for simply relaxing with a glass of wine on your boat.

Galgate is a well-serviced marina, and the absence of locks on the Lancaster canal itself makes it ideal if you enjoy weekend and holiday cruising. It is convenient for Lancaster, Preston and Blackpool, as well as the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

However, there are a couple of locks if you take a detour to Glasson Docks at the Glasson branch, which you see featured at the latter part of the video.

Thank you.

With canals being so linear finding a variety of shots is more difficult but it worked out OK for me.

Ever since I first saw England’s canals about forty years ago, I thought that this would be a nice way to venture through the countryside. Well done!

You could venture around 2,000 miles in England and Wales on canals - would take some time, but oh what a journey it would be!
