Aston to Cracoe for 85 miles

Moving through Upper Midhope.

In the village of Shepley there is a memorial to the local war heroes.

Huddersfield is a city of over 100,000. It was an early boom town during the industrial revolution.

Going through a tunnel In Oakenshaw. I love biking through a tunnel.

Five locks at Bingley.. Wow!

War Memorial in Keighley.

The bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Farnhill.

Canals in the UK,

After seeing several canals along the last couple of days and wanted to learn more.  Canals were used to ship goods and irrigate fields. Mostly they are used for recreational use now.  The majority of canals will handle boats of 55-72 feet in length. Some canals can handle very large ships.

Leaving Cracoe. Still in North Yorkshire.
