The Journey - Sprotbrough and beyond

Leaving Sprotbrough and passing on, through Doncaster sees the last stretch of this part of the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation.

Just a few miles beyond the Strawberry Island Boat Club you have a choice at Bramwith Junction: Left up the long straight New Junction Canal toward the Aire and Calder Navigation, or Right, onto the Stainforth and Keadby Canal toward the delightful little town of Thorne.

Depending upon the length of your holiday you can explore many of the undiscovered delights of the Northern waterways.  A two week holiday affords the time to see the Calder and Hebble Navigation, Selby Canal, Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Huddersfield Narrow Canal and Rochdale Canal - to name a few.  We provide a number of maps and navigation guides on board in addition to the on-line resources available from our Library.
