Welcome to Stainforth and Keadby Canal

Stainforth and Keadby Canal is a significant waterway in Lincolnshire that connects the River Trent to the River Don. The canal was built in the 18th century to transport coal from the South Yorkshire coalfields to the River Trent. The canal is 13.5 miles long and has 13 locks. It is a popular destination for boaters and anglers, and it is also a vital transportation route for commercial barges.

The canal passes through some of the most beautiful countryside in Lincolnshire, including the Isle of Axholme, which is known for its rich agricultural land. The canal is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons. The canal is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, who can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and stunning views.

The Stainforth and Keadby Canal played a significant role in the industrial revolution, and it continues to be an essential transportation route for businesses in the region. The canal is also a vital source of water for irrigation and flood control. The canal has undergone significant restoration work in recent years, and it is now a thriving waterway that attracts visitors from all over the world. Whether you are interested in history, nature, or simply enjoying the great outdoors, the Stainforth and Keadby Canal is a must-visit destination in Lincolnshire.
