Navigational Notes

From 1 May 2023 to 31 Oct this lock will only be open at 11am each day, and needs pre-booking

Canal & River Trust has a number of volunteer lock keepers working on the Rochdale Canal, this includes the flight between West Summit and Littleborough. This flight can be hard work and over the years a number of boaters have requested assistance.

The volunteers are happy to help when they can. Their help is given voluntarily so assistance is not guaranteed, but if you would like help call 0303 040 4040 at least 24 hours before your planned passage (longer if possible) and we will try to arrange this with the volunteers.

The lock keepers have all trained with the Trust and have excellent local knowledge which can really add to your experience of the flight.

Please call us if you want to look into this, the more notice the better.

While assistance cannot be guaranteed the volunteers are committed to helping where they can.
