The Water Road to Manchester -  A Bridgewater Canal virtual tour

Bridgewater Canal Guided Tours

Explore the Bridgewater Canal in Salford - one of the cradles of the industrial revolution and all because a nobleman fell out of love.....

The Bridgewater Canal in Salford contains the oldest and the youngest parts of the 39 miles of the UK&#x27;s first commercial canal. Explore this five-mile stretch of history where we will learn about how the area embraced coal, cotton, Suffragettes, brilliant engineers (and their engineering - mostly but not always.) See the Castle in the Air and a cathedral in miniature - and how this all came about because of a lovelorn nobleman and a very important wheel of Cheshire cheese. Look out for &#x27;God forgotten&#x27; Worsley, the church built to enlighten them, a lighthouse 30 miles from the sea and the world&#x27;s only swing aqueduct at Barton. Tickets to America, ghost stories, royalty and the weight of the world all feature in this virtual tour by Elizabeth Charnley, Green Badge guide for the Bridgewater Canal in Salford
