Sit back and enjoy this virtual tour of the canal. It will give you a flavour of the scenery and the canal architecture the canal offers. The "cruise" is arranged in sections. It runs from east to west, but includes views of the canal looking in either direction.
The "virtual journey" runs from east to west, but includes views of the canal looking in either direction.
The "virtual journey" between Wigan and Liverpool has been completely revised, with many new photographs. A new "virtual journey" along the Liverpool Canal Link has been added.

Information is included to help those wishing to walk the route of the canal for themselves.
