Aire and Calder Canal

The Aire and Calder Canal Navigation stretches from Leeds to Wakefield and Castleford to Goole, a distance of 24 miles. Our Canal Guide shows you everything boaters might need in each city, town & village - including shops, pubs & restaurants, post offices and laundry services.

There are 5 locks, each with traffic lights (Red = stop & wait; Amber = no lock-keeper so D.I.Y; Green = go into lock)
