jacko264 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 It would be a miracle to get a boat along that canal at the end we walked the locks are derelict and the cut is full of bulrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammersmith99 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Seems like quite the picturesque stroll along the Pocklington canal with your loyal German Shepherd, especially with the charmingly derelict locks and the abundance of bulrush lining the cut.

jacko264 Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Don’t quote me on it but I believe it has had some. Work done at the Humber end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pocklington canal is undergoing restoration. It's a beautiful rural location but access to it isn't straightforward. Easiest route is from Selby on an ebb tide then through Barmby barrage onto the Yorkshire Derwent (EA visitor license required from the lock keeper). There's very few moorings on the river and stretch between the river and canal is challenging. Very shallow with an awkward bend. The first mile of the canal is slow going, shallow and weedy. It's navigable to Bielby now but best moorings and decent pub are at Melbourne. Absolutely worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac of Cygnet Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I've been twice up the Pocklington, the second time up the newly opened stretch to Bielby (although the arm to the village was not navigable). It was real outback boating - described here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
