The canal is the longest in Northern England. Officially it is listed as being 127 miles long, but an extra ¼ mile is mentioned on the milestone itself.
At this point it 112 miles to Liverpool in the west and 15 ¼ miles to Leeds in the east.
Although the canal scene seems to be very rural along here, it's actually very close to a major dual carriageway and the centre of Bingley.
