Springs Branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal - From Springs Branch Moorings L1 to Bridge 2, Mill Bridge

This section of navigation remains closed and we are continuing to liaise with relevant parties to work towards a resolution. The restricted width means that powered boats will not get passed the obstruction, therefore such crafts should not proceed past the moorings.

The Springs Branch of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal is closed due to a rock fall from Skipton Castle. The rock fall has blocked the canal spur and the footpath alongside it and the police have placed temporary barriers at either end of the affected footpath. Our local team will be visiting the site to investigate further. The main line of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal is unaffected by the rock fall and will remain open. An update will be issued on Monday 11 January 2016
