Driffield Navigation Canal

Highlight • River

An 11 mile (18 km) canal, the Driffield Navigation was opened in 1770 to transport goods across the North of England. However, the last commercial trip on the river was made in 1951. Many of the locks and bridges fell into disrepair following its commercial decline. However, today the canal is a pretty waterway that has been restored to its former glory.
