We have collaborated with fantastic outdoor providers, artists, heritage experts and boaters to bring you a week’s worth of Towpath Trail activities!
If you haven’t cycled along the new towpath surface between Crooklands and Stainton yet, here’s you chance! Join Emily and the Lakes Gravel Gang for some free guided rides, they’ve even organised bike hire options in case that’s useful!
Keen to learn more about the heritage of the Lancaster Canal? Heritage expert Bill Froggatt will be leading a Heritage Walk to tell you more and answer any questions you may have.
Have you experienced the delights of travelling on Lancaster Canal in the infamous Waterwitch? Free rides are available all day on the Thursday.
And in case you need a Winter reset and an excuse to slow down and top up your wellbeing tank, why not join Ruth from ‘At Natures Pace’ to explore the Towpath Trail at a different kind of pace.
Follow this link for all the dates, times and booking information.
If your not a fan of booking onto a set activity and like to keep it flexible… we’ve got something for you too!
‘The Towpath Troll Trail’ will be open from Monday 17th until Sunday 23rd of February.
Pick up your Troll Trail Map from The Crooklands Hotel before heading out to find the number of Trolls that suits your group.
Designed by local artist Anja Phoenix, each Troll is wearing unique dungarees, some inspired by traditional Canal Art designs. They area also home to a range of friends to spot.
There are 10 trolls in total with a bonus one at Hincaster Tunnel. Please return your map to Crooklands Hotel to receive some free troll stickers – zero pressure to find them all, stickers will still be granted!
