In an increasingly fast-paced and crowded world, the Canal & River Trust’s historic canals, rivers, museums and attractions provide a local haven for people and nature.
The canals and rivers that we look after offer you an authentic, unfenced opportunity to interact with history, wildlife and nature first-hand.
Their museums and attractions are the perfect way to get a glimpse into this world. You could find yourself travelling through Britain’s longest tunnel at Standedge Tunnel, exploring the Victorian working boats at the National Waterways Museum or you could even take a boat trip at the Anderton Boat Lift and find out what it’s like to get lifted 50 feet in the air by a giant iron spider.
The Trust’s museums and attractions are located across the country. To plan your visit see their website for admission charges, opening times, and for details about special events. • The Anderton Boat Lift in Northwich in the heart of Cheshire is one of the seven wonders of the waterways and an attraction of all seasons.
• The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port showcases the history of the canals and the lives and times of the people who worked on them. The Museum is also home to the national archives, comprising thousands of priceless documents, records, blueprints, photographs and more from all across the UK’s canal and river heritage. A goldmine for historians and invaluable to people researching their family history on the waterways, the archives are available to visit by appointment.
