A stunning feat of 19th Century engineering, the Anderton boat lift carries two boats at a time hydraulically, one up and one down. At the centre of the Cheshire salt-making region, the River Weaver is steeped in industrial history, yet bristling with wildlife and beautiful scenery.
This route is a tranquil taste of Cheshire's stress-free countryside and in a seamless twist of the water it leads you to an encounter with one of the most spectacular manmade marvels of engineering along Britain's waterways.
More InformationThis short route is a leisurely cruise with tunnels, an aqueduct and views to slow down for. Expect surprising sightseeing - from the iron excitement of seeing the Anderton Boat lift, to a fantasy adventure in the birthplace of Alice in Wonderland.
