Driffield Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Driffield Navigation is an 11-mile waterway, through the heart of the Holderness Plain to the market town of Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The northern section of it is a canal, and the southern section is part of the River Hull. Construction was authorised in 1767, and it was fully open in 1770.

Driffield Navigation Canal

Highlight • River

An 11 mile (18 km) canal, the Driffield Navigation was opened in 1770 to transport goods across the North of England. However, the last commercial trip on the river was made in 1951. Many of the locks and bridges fell into disrepair following its commercial decline. However, today the canal is a pretty waterway that has been restored to its former glory.
