Waterways charity Canal & River Trust has reopened the Lancaster Canal to boaters following a £1.6 million project to repair a breach at Hollowforth Aqueduct.

Work is underway on a £1.1m project to improve a four-mile stretch of towpath on the Lancaster Canal and make it more accessible for residents and visitors.

The Lancaster Canal Regeneration Partnership (LCRP) set students the task of exploring what locals and potential visitors want from the new 27-mile pathway between Kendal and Lancaster.
