Exploring the Lancaster Canal – A History & Guide

The coastal Lancaster Canal is easily accessible and well-maintained, passing through beautiful and varied countryside. In this book, author Robert Swain shares the canal’s history as an invaluable leisure resource, from its construction to its trading days and rebirth.

The Lancaster Canal was completed in 1819, providing a bright future for traders travelling between Preston and Kendal. During Britain’s industrial heyday, it became a vital navigable artery and a comfortable way for passengers to travel through north Lancashire. Today, it is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, cyclists, and runners. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the opening, this book is full of interesting facts and beautiful pictures, making it the perfect companion for anyone wishing to explore and enjoy the Lancaster Canal.
