Pocklington Canal Head

Highlight • Parking

Picturesque head of Pocklington Canal with parking, picnic spots and a Pocklington Canal Amenity Society visitor centre. The upper part of the canal is now disused with lots of derelict locks, however, there are several parking spots along the lower half of the canal that is still navigable. pocklingtoncanalsociety.org/maps

Top Lock

Highlight • Historical Site

The first of 5 disused locks between the canal head and Coat's Bridge. Although the next 4 (Silburn, Giles, Sandhill and Coat's Locks) are derelict, Top Lock's principal structure is relatively intact, and the lock gates and manual and hydraulic gearing mechanisms have been restored to traditional design.

Giles Lock

Highlight • River

Giles Lock is quite easy to see, not as overgrown as some of the others, and the canal is but a shadow of its former self immediately south of the lock.
