Welcome to New River Ancholme

New River Ancholme is a canal located in Lincolnshire, England. It was built in the 18th century to transport goods such as coal, timber, and agricultural produce. The canal runs for 13 miles from the River Ancholme at South Ferriby to the town of Brigg. Today, the canal is used mainly for recreational purposes such as boating, fishing, and walking.

The New River Ancholme is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons. The canal is also a popular spot for anglers, with fish such as roach, bream, and pike found in its waters. The canal is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with fields, woods, and hedgerows providing a picturesque backdrop for walkers and cyclists.

The canal has a rich history, with many of the original features still visible today. These include the locks, bridges, and aqueducts that were built to enable boats to navigate the canal. The New River Ancholme is a fascinating place to visit, offering a glimpse into the past while also providing a peaceful and relaxing environment for visitors to enjoy.
