Welcome to Calder and Hebble Navigation

Calder and Hebble Navigation is a canal system located in West Yorkshire, England. It was built in the 18th century to transport goods such as coal, wool, and textiles from the mills and factories in the area to the ports of Hull and Liverpool. The canal system is 21 miles long and has 19 locks, which were used to raise and lower boats to different levels of the canal.

The Calder and Hebble Navigation played a significant role in the industrial revolution of West Yorkshire. It allowed for the transportation of goods to be more efficient and cost-effective, which helped to boost the local economy. The canal system also provided employment opportunities for many people, including boatmen, lock keepers, and maintenance workers. Today, the canal system is still in use, but mainly for recreational purposes such as boating and fishing.

The Calder and Hebble Navigation is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The canal system is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the towpath, hire a boat, or enjoy a picnic by the water's edge. The canal system is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons, making it a great place for nature lovers to explore.
