Cut Mark On Bridge 163 On Lancaster Canal - Preston Patrick - U.K. and Ireland Trigpoints on Waymarking.com

The Lancaster Canal is a canal in the north of England, originally planned to run from Westhoughton in Lancashire to Kendal in south Cumbria (then in Westmorland). The section around the crossing of the River Ribble was never completed, and much of the southern end leased to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, of which it is now generally considered part.

Of the canal north of Preston, only the section from Preston to Tewitfield near Carnforth in Lancashire is currently open to navigation for 42 miles (67.6 km).

This section of the canal north of Tewitfield is not navigable, but is still in water. The towpath is well maintained and popular with walkers and cyclists.

The Cut Mark and rivet is slightly worn and the bridge is also known as Seven Mile Bridge.
