Welcome to Leeds and Liverpool Canal

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a 127-mile-long canal that runs through the counties of West Yorkshire and Lancashire. The canal was built in the late 18th century to transport goods between the two cities and was a vital part of the industrial revolution. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists, and is home to a variety of wildlife.

In Merseyside, the canal runs through the towns of Maghull, Aintree, and Bootle, before reaching its final destination in Liverpool. The canal is a popular spot for fishing, with anglers often catching bream, roach, and perch. The canal is also home to a variety of birdlife, including kingfishers, herons, and swans.

The canal is surrounded by a number of attractions, including the Aintree Racecourse, which hosts the Grand National every year, and the Liverpool Docks, which were once the busiest port in the world. The canal is also home to a number of pubs and restaurants, making it a great place to stop for a drink or a bite to eat. Overall, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a fascinating part of Merseyside's history and a great place to explore.
