Narrowboats, Waterfalls and Leaky Lock Gates at Walsden, West Yorkshire

Narrowboats gently bob, their painted hulls reflecting the sky. Waterfalls cascade down mossy rocks, a refreshing counterpoint to the still canal. And then there are the lock gates – leaky, perhaps, but adding a certain charm to the scene. Walsden, West Yorkshire, offers a delightful blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty, perfect for a peaceful canal-side stroll.

The first video was taken from bridge number 32 Copperas Bridge which carries the A6033 Rochdale Road across the canal. It shows a narrowboat sailing along the canal westward away from Gauxholme Railway Bridge.


The second short clip was taken showing a waterfall flowing nearby at the end of Farnboro Street alongside the Rochdale Canal. I just kind of found it relaxing watching the water cascading over the edge.


And the 3rd video shows lock 31 on the Rochdale Canal also known as Lightbank Lock. I  just found something very relaxing about flow of water through the side and bottom of the gate.
