It is at the western end of the canal, near to where the canal has a junction with the large Glasson Basin visitor moorings.
The Glasson Branch connects the main line of the Lancaster Canal at Ellel with the River Lune very close to here. The link to the sea gives the canal access to sea going vessels.
The map was erected by the Canal and River Trust.
Welcome to
Glasson Basin
The Glasson Branch affords lovely views across Morecambe bay to the high hills of the Lake District. Opened in 1820, the branch runs through tranquil countryside before finally reaching Glasson basin and Glasson Dock.
The Canal & River Trust is the charity that ensures Lancaster's canals are here for everyone to enjoy, now and forever.
