The Basin

This canal basin, in the centre of Skipton, forms part of Britain's longest inland waterway the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
Opened in 1816 and stretching 127 miles the canal took 46 years to build.
The canal passes straight through the centre of Skipton and here, at the canal basin, there is a junction with the half mile long SD9851 : The Springs Branch, Skipton that winds its way around the back of Skipton Castle.

A familiar spot for me too as I have stood on this bridge snapping the same sight in the past. I have even bought an item or two from that sports shop we see here. A fine capture. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Such an idyllic looking place TOZ...........especially in that lovely sunshine. I like the look of the canal boats, especially the red one and the family of swans are really beautiful.

A delightful shot sir!
