The expansion of the cotton and textile industries led to the construction of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, a broad canal accommodating wide-beamed boats capable of transporting substantial cargo. Today, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal remains a popular cruising route. Though extensive, its rich variety of towns, canal features, and scenic contrasts make it ideal for exploration—whether by boat, bike, car, or on foot. Quiet rural stretches give way to vibrant towns and cities, with the Liverpool Canal Link revitalising access to the historic port at one end, and ongoing redevelopment enhancing the Leeds waterfront at the other.
