Bronte Boat Hire are now offering a one way cruise between Hebden Bridge and Barnoldswick aboard our 5 star boat 'No Turning Back!'
The weekly one way cruise takes you around a wonderful cruise route in the heart of Yorkshire from Barnoldswick to Hebden Bridge (or vice-versa).
The route requires long days and is recommended for those who have previous boating experience. If you are new, we do provide comprehensive training so don’t be deterred.
The route takes in the market town of Skipton, the Bingley 5 rise (one of the wonders of the waterways), the historic Salts Mill and the vibrant city of Leeds.
Leaving Leeds you join the commercial Aire and Calder. The Barges carry sand and oil from the Humber Ports to the industrial heartland of West Yorkshire. After passing the historic aquaduct at Stanley Ferry you join the lovely Calder and Hebble canal and start your ascent back into the Pennine hills. This is a is a lovely mix of river and navigable cuts finishing with passage through one of the deepest locks in the UK and into the delightful town of Hebden Bridge.
We were surprised and delighted by the variety of scenery and features on the waterways to Hebden Bridge and back.
