The Garstang/Lancaster Canal is the longest stretch of lock-free canal in the country, making it a popular destination for beginning and experienced canal boaters.

This canal, one of the most scenic in the country, stretches from Preston to Tewitfield, bypassing the Forest of Bowland and the Wyre countryside.

The canal was opened in 1826 and was nicknamed the “Black and White Canal’ because it was used to carry coal from the north and limestone from the south.
