The canal approaches
Lancaster, leaving the rural areas behind and enters Lancaster proper. The
canal towpath changes sides twice during it's route through Lancaster, it
changes to the West side at bridge 98 and then back to the East side at bridge
100.
There are three
notable public houses along the banks of the canal, with moorings available for
patrons. The Waterwitch, West bank between bridges 98 & 99, the White Cross
West bank between bridges 99 & 100 and the Duke of Lancaster, East bank
between bridges 99 & 100. See the Public Houses page
for contact numbers.
Alongside the canal
on the East bank at bridge 99 are the British Waterways facilities, toilets and
showers etc. Authorised access is for boat owner's with approved keys only.
Ample mooring are available giving access to the Town Centre and shops, which
are only a few minutes walk away.

barge, Lady Fiona (01524-849484), can be booked for parties of up to 75 at
Chancellors Wharf near bridge 98. The Duke of Lancaster also have a licensed
narrow boat for hire for smaller parties (01524-849484). |
