This set of five rises is the steepest set in the country. The stepped loch means that it's a continuous flight with no holding ponds between lochs, each gate opens into the next loch.
Built in 1774 it's a major feet of engineering and requires regular maintenance. It's a complicated procedure to get a boat all the way up or down so a permanent lock keeper is employed to help.
The structure is grade 1 listed.

Shipley Glen Woodland Trail

Highlight • Forest

I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the beautiful woodland of Shipley Glen as I followed the Dales High Way long distance trail from Saltaire towards Ilkley. I've read that 3 different species of woodpecker can be found here.
