Lock 5 Ribble Link
The Ribble Link, opened as recently as 2002, at long last joined the isolated Lancaster Canal to the rest of the mainland canal network, albeit via the challenging tidal River Douglas, Ribble Estuary and Savick Brook. The link follows a canalised Savick Brook but being of recent construction there is no tow path. This is Lock 5, one of eight on the four mile navigation.
