We stop at Bingley Rise Locks along the Leeds to Liverpool Canal; these comprise two sets of locks to manage the hill here.

Bingley Five Rise Locks are now Grade I listed and are the steepest staircase locks on the longest canal in the UK. They were opened in 1774 and were a major feat of engineering at the time; the five locks are still managed by six gates. Bingley Rise Three Locks are a little further down the towpath.

Nearby is East Riddlesden Hall, a historic 17th century Manor House now managed by the National Trust. It was rebuilt by James Murgatroyd, a wealthy clothier from Halifax, in 1642 and overlooks a bend on the River Aire as it wends its way to Keighley

We explore the house and small gardens to complete two pleasant excursions at the end of our Yorkshire holiday.もっと詳しく
