On our trips as we pass the Rufford Branch of the On our trips as we pass the Rufford Branch of the Leeds / Liverpool Canal we usually explain that its possible to access the Lancaster Canal via the Ribble Link. The link was built in 2002 and the first inland waterway to be built in England for 100 years and the first to be used exclusive for leisure.

So what's the journey like?

You'll leave the tidal lock at Tarlton before being hit by the incoming tide of the River Douglas, its full power on the throttle to ensure you move forward instead of backwards across the estuary to the River Ribble 😳😳😳

A mixture of strong winds, strong under currents & underwater obstructions mean that there's no time to relax on this journey. 

If you lucky you'll spot the entrance to the less adrenaline fueled canal which winds it way up to the Lancaster canal. There's a three locks staircase which you will have to do in reverse on longer vessels due to a hairpin turn making it impossible to turn the boat. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I couldn't find any tours operating this journey but I think I will definitely pass on using one of our boats 🥰

We can guarantee sightings of coot chicks & mallard chicks on all our trips for the next few months. 

Plus we always carry plenty of RSPB approved seeds onboard our boats for customers to feed the chicks and their parents :)
