It's great that you can actually cross the Manchester Ship Canal at these locks and get up close to them. Most of the other locks are off limits to the public but here you can really get a sense of the scale of them and see how they would operate and how they've changed over time. Certainly worth a visit even if it's just across the canal and back!
Brilliant afternoon seeing the Daniel Adamson steam tug going in and out of the locks.
Great destination for a walk or a bike ride. It is a pity that nothing is done to make the surrounding area a bit more touristic. And when a boat is coming a good way to explain the locks principle. A better maintenance of the lock is needed though
Interesting place, especially when a ship goes through. Not a place for young children unless they are well controlled!
It was cold but I loved it. I never saw this happening in real life before. Very interesting experiences. It dropped the ship quite fast. I thought it takes more time.
Nice spot to just sit and listen to the birds and the water flowing though leaks in the rather tired lock gates. Often sit there with the dog, sharing a sandwich and my flask of tea!
Update June 2022
The locks have now been ruined by the addition of metal fencing to keep you to the allocated walkway, so you can now no longer sit on one of the bollards/cleats as you could only a month or two ago and appreciate the location. Suddenly not a friendly place to be! Shame on you MSC.
