Huddersfield Narrow Canal Boat Covers

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal is one of the engineering marvels of the British waterways network, climbing through 74 locks from Huddersfield in the east to Ashton-under-Lyne in the west, crossing the Pennine watershed at a summit level of 638 feet above sea level — the highest navigable point on the entire English canal system. The summit is reached through the Standedge Tunnel, at 5,700 metres the longest, deepest, and highest canal tunnel in Britain, cut through the Pennine millstone grit and running alongside the parallel railway tunnels. Boats today transit Standedge with electric tugs, an experience available to visitors on a regular schedule. Restored and reopened in 2001 as part of the Millennium Link, the canal passes through the dramatic Pennine landscapes of Saddleworth and the moorland valleys above Huddersfield. The high Pennine location means cold temperatures, high rainfall, frequent winds, and the risk of ice in winter, all of which demand robust boat cover protection for any narrowboat using this remarkable waterway.
