Detailed distances
As promised many moons ago, I have finally got round to adding detailed distances to help walkers and cyclists who are planning a trip along the canal.

The list was originally from a very old Edward Baine's Directory of Leeds & District but has since been amended and updated.

The reference to 'flg' in the distance refers to a furlong which is one-eighth of a mile, 220 yards, 660 feet or 201 metres!

Really useful! I hope it was a labour of love. Great for calculating walks and cycling trips. Thank you.

You can calculate any canal walk using the canal route planner on the following website http://www.narrowboats.org and get a personalize PDF download with directions and places of interest.
As boats travel at walking speed, I have found the site very useful indeed!

I want to do a sponsored 10 mile canal walk and I live in Rishton so wondered where 10 miles would take me either side? I've tried googling the distance but it doesnt come up for miles on the canal towpaths. hope someone can help

Heading towards Liverpool would take you to Riley Green Bridge No 91A (nr. A675).

Heading towards Leeds would be Gannow Tunnel, or thereabouts.
