3. Pocklington Canal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 98 reviews
This idyllic rural waterway was once derelict, and nearly became a dumping ground for industrial waste. It was saved by the work of energetic local volunteers and campaigners and is now one of the country’s best canals for nature, and home to three Sites of Special Scientific Interest. We’re focusing on the upper reaches between Melbourne and Canal Head, which is not currently accessible by boat, but the towpath is open to walkers, and is a great place for spotting the wildlife and plants that thrive along the canal. The canal architecture also adds interest to the scenery, with distinctive swing bridges, classic hump-backed bridges and restored and unrestored locks. It’s a fantastic place to take the kids, have a picnic and travel west out of Melbourne on a trip boat to see the area from a totally different perspective.

We visited the partially restored canal head for the first time after visiting the nearby Burnby Hall Gardens. We brought our picnic. There are 2 small car parking areas and also grass verges to park on. There were lots of cars parked but not many people around. Perhaps they were walking the 4.5 miles along the towpath from Top Lock? There were lots of benches to sit on overlooking the canal and also picnic tables on the grass so a perfect site for a picnic. There is also an amazing horse sculpture. There are information boards dotted about relating to history of the lock and the canal. There is a beautiful house adjacent to the water which is a converted warehouse originating from when it was a working canal. Don’t miss the memorial stone to the crew of a Lancaster bomber who lost their lives when it crashed on the site in 1943. We will definitely return to do the towpath walk in the near future. There are lots of bridges and locks and permanent moorings to view along the route.
