Close to my home, the Lancaster Canal is a 41-mile, lock-free canal in the North West of England, connecting Preston to Kendal. It's one of the few coastal canals in the country, built along the natural contours of the land, and offers a scenic route for boating, walking, cycling, and other outdoor activities.
The canal was initially built to connect with the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and was later integrated into the national waterway network via the Ribble Link in 2002.
I took a gentle stroll along the tow path from near my home towards the city centre, passing the beautiful scenery around the waterway, and heading to the industry of the city, and under the Blackpool Road bridge, the obligatory graffiti. Then it was time to go home again...
