Bingley Five Rise Locks Opened in 1774 they are a Bingley Five Rise Locks Opened in 1774 they are a bucket list experience for many a boater, old and new to the canals. Through the 2021 summer season, the @canalrivertrust customer operations team will be on site to offer assisted passage through the locks for our guests. Further locks towards Leeds are not manned by volunteers but instructions are on hand to help you figure it out safely...and then just like that, you arrive in Leeds! We can’t wait to start cruising again! #blueotter #narrowboatholidays #leedsliverpoolcanal #canalholidays #canalholiday #bespokeholidays #privatecharter #selfdrivehire #canalcruise
