Welcome to Pocklington Canal

Pocklington Canal is a beautiful waterway located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The canal was built in the late 18th century to transport goods such as coal, timber, and agricultural products. The canal runs for 9.5 miles from the River Derwent at East Cottingwith to the town of Pocklington. The canal is now a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The Pocklington Canal is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and water voles. The canal is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, such as the white-clawed crayfish and the water soldier plant. The canal is managed by the Canal and River Trust, who work to protect and preserve the canal's unique ecosystem.

The Pocklington Canal is a popular destination for boaters, with several hire companies offering narrowboats for hire. The canal is also a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with a number of footpaths and cycle routes running alongside the canal. The canal is a peaceful and tranquil place to visit, offering visitors the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside.
