SE4002 : The Brampton Canal

taken 12 years ago, near to Brampton, Rotherham, England

The Brampton Canal
The Brampton Canal
More properly known as the Elsecar Branch of the Dearne and Dove Canal which linked the River Don Navigation with the Barnsley Canal. The Elsecar branch was built to serve the coal mines and so went past many of them. The majority of the towpath is on the Elsecar Greenway, part of the Trans Pennine Trail. Although no longer navigable much of the canal remains in water and there are plans to restore it.
