Ulverston Canal isn't just a place to walk your dog or let your kids run silly (although we ALL do it and it is after all, ideal for that purpose), but it is also steeped in history. It still has (albeit non working) the only rolling brigde in the uk you are able to cross, It has a massive array of wildlife from common ducks to some of the most beautiful colour dragon flies I've ever seen, it has herons, storks, birds.... It honestly goes on and on. Fishing with a license is allowed on the canal which is approx one and half mile long and sea fishing has a vantage point at the base end of the canal. If you venture slightly down onto the beach and CAREFULLY follow the sand around on your left hand side you will pass some of the most beautiful geological features I personally think a person could see, and if you follow it all the way around you will be presented with the prize of viewing the amazing leven viaduct from sands underneath it (this is the long bridge you can see to your left from the end of the canal) This was built in the 1800,s and is an absolute fete of early engineering still surrounded by the leftover rocks and mounds of its workers and is a place listed as a place of scientific interest for its wildlife and geology. It is also still a working rail line. And lastly BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY... have you ever heard of the Arnside boar?? Well read on then... I have personally whitenessed this and know it is scary.. BUT you have to be aware of a phonomena that happens here quite a lot, and it's where the TIDE COMES IN LIKE A TSUNAMI AND SIDEWAYS. I am not kidding I have it on video but sadly can't post, but if a family was caught out in that... Well, hope you've got signal because you'de need RNLI. But over all pay attention to the tide, don't take any risks and enjoy the walk. As with everything stay safe. But take in the beauty this place has to offer.

A lovely scenic walk, suitable for wheelchair or buggy. A straight route of just over a mile, with a pub at one end and Booths cafe or McDs at the other end.

A beautiful and historic canal, nice and flat to walk on with plenty of swans to photograph!

It smells a bit fishy, the ducks should get gone as they eat the fish, It's nice to walk down except for a guy called keith who sits in the canal having a bath stirring the canal scaring away the fish...

Most people would be able to walk the length of the canal in about 30 minutes. A straight, level, tree-lined pathway follows the canal and is suitable for...
