Welcome To Skipton Boat Trips
THE LEEDS & LIVERPOOL CANAL
The Canal itself is Britain’s longest, at 127 miles, and was originally used for transporting coal, stone, cloth, and other cargo after its completion in 1816. Of course, the Canal’s busy industrial heyday has now passed, but the Leeds Liverpool is still enjoyed by thousands as a brilliant way of exploring the area, reliving the past and relaxing as the world passes by.
