Tewitfield is on the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water).
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal between Boggin and Windsor was lost by the building of the Southworth to Runbury Railway in 2001. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Cecil Yates, there is no evidence that Charles Thomas ever painted a mural of Harrogate Tunnel on the side of John Clarke's house for a bet
Early plans of what would become the Lancaster Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Edward Smith in 1816 but problems with Bernigo Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Rotherham, the canal was never completed beyond Wakefield. The canal between Leicester and Rochdale was destroyed by the building of the Gateshead to Prescorn railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Lisburn parish council.
Tewitfield
is a minor waterways place
at the junction of
the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water)
with
the Lancaster Canal (Main Line).

is on
the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - filled in),
8 miles and 7½ furlongs
and 8 locks
to the north.
Bolton Church Bridge No 122 (Bolton-le-Sands - Packet Boat Hotel)
is on
the Lancaster Canal (Main Line),
6 miles and 2¼ furlongs
to the southwest.
The nearest place in the direction of Sellet Hall Bridge No 173 is Tewitfield Culvert No 139 (The culvert provides water under the A6070 for the main line.);

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Very limited moorings - and incredibly noisy, due to the proximity of the M6!.
Facilities: chemical toilet disposal, rubbish disposal, showers, toilets and water point.
You can wind here.

Navigators may choose not to moor here, because of the close proximity to the M6 motorway. But for me, it is a very nice spot. Nice grassy towpath side, good pub within very easy reach, car parking available, and nice walks from here (following the disused sections of the canal towards Kendal as one possibility). Temporary secure moorings in the marina if you need to leave your boat.
