Cheshire Ring |
A circular route along five (six) navigable
canals owned by British Waterways and the Bridgewater Canal, which is
not a BW canal although it does allow free access to BW registered boats.
The Ring is 97 miles long, has 92 locks and takes about 50 hours cruising
time. As a circular route, it is a favourite with hire boaters, as it
brings them back to the base starting point, easily within a week.
The cruise takes in most of the county of Cheshire, (hence the name)
as well as driving directly through Manchester city centre, and entering
the Peak District National Park towards Whaley Bridge. |
