Anderton Boat Lift

Winner of experience of the year 2019, The Anderton Boat Lift has earned its nickname of Cathedral of the Canals for a very good reason. Not only does it still do the job it was designed to do of lifting boats and barges the 50 feet from the River Weaver Navigation to the Trent & Mersey Canal, but it does so with the most ingenious and endearing character of any structure on the canal system.

The mighty Anderton Boat Lift is one of the ‘Seven Wonders of the Waterways’ and together with its visitor centre, coffee shop, play area and nearby Northwich Woodlands, it makes for a great day out.

The visit will include a boat trip, at 11:30hrs, which will start with our vessel being lowered from the upper level of the Lift, into the river, below. The visitor centre showcases the history of this iconic piece of Victorian engineering history, and lunch will be served in the coffee shop. There is also a gift shop selling souvenirs. Although dinner is being paid for by the council, attendees are asked to pay for any additional extras they should like to purchase e.g. souvenirs, drinks, snacks etc. A pay-and-display car park is also operated on site, this will need to be paid for by attendees, CIRO does not endorse the use of this car park and cars are left at the owner’s own risk.
