Leeds and Liverpool Canal

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a historic waterway in northern England, connecting the city of Leeds to Liverpool on the west coast. Built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it was primarily used to transport goods like textiles, coal, and machinery during the Industrial Revolution. The canal spans about 127 miles, featuring locks, bridges, and scenic stretches through towns and countryside. Today, it serves mainly for leisure activities such as boating, walking, and fishing, offering a glimpse into the area's industrial heritage and providing a tranquil route through northern England.
