Experience the Grit and Beauty of Britain's Industrial Lifelines

Step into the world of a lock keeper's cottage and immerse yourself in the authentic daily rhythm of life by the water. Handle the tools of the trade, walk through the cottage, and feel the history come alive with every creak of the lock gates and scent in the air.

Take a leisurely walk along the canal, where you can admire the many boats, enjoy the changing colours and sunshine on the water and spot the plentiful wildlife that thrives year-round.

Replenish yourself with our delicious homemade cakes, biscuits, and refreshments.
