The Canal

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs between the industrial towns of Ashton-under-Lyne in the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside, Greater Manchester, and Huddersfield in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire.

At its centre below the picturesque Saddleworth and Marsden Moors lies the unique Standedge Tunnel, the longest, highest and deepest canal tunnel in the country.

Our Towpath Guide is your perfect companion to exploring this waterway. Buy this and other products from our online bookshop.

The Society

Having achieved its aim of the restoration of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal to through navigation and public use, the Huddersfield Canal Society intends to take an active role in the canal's future, assisting British Waterways with operational and development initiatives.
