Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Often visit the area of Marple locks throughout the year.
The 'flight' of 16 locks is about 1 mile in length and one the steepest in England. It is a great place for a family day out and a fascinating part of our industrial heritage.
There is a bus stop for the 358, 383, 384 in Marple near to Marple Memorial Park as well as several car parks (the nearest is in Marple Memorial Park).
Starting from Marple Memorial Park, where there are tree sculptors, a sensory garden, toilets and fantastic views towards the Peak District.
Following the footpath onto the canal towpath. You arrive in the middle third of the lock flight. Turning left (northwards) going downhill and the numbers on the lock-gates decrease is easier if you have poor mobility. Going the other way is worth a look because it has a narrow tunnel built especially for the horses that pulled the narrow boats that you have to walk through.
The canal lock walk continues past Brabyns Park and the views continue. Reaching the last lock please continue along the Lower Peak Forest canal under the railway bridge and you will find Marple aqueduct. Built to carry the canal over the River Goyt. It is the highest in England and the highest masonry arch aqueduct in Britain.
The Etherow Country Park is nearby and accessible through Brabyns Park.
If you walk up to the top lock (number 16) you will see where the Macclesfield canal joins the Upper Peak Forest canal.

Worth a short stroll along the canal to see at least 10 locks in quick succession before arriving at the aqueduct. Shame there were no barges passing through.

Found a great 5.5 mile walk on Superlative walks.com. starting at Marple Bridge and passing remains of cotton mill and Roman lakes serving teas. Along river then climb up to canal. Passing 16 locks then on to highest aquaduct in UK. Returning to Marple Bridge. Very enjoyable and informative morning.

Beautiful cycle path. My deaf blind friend had a great time on the tandem with me, even though we did get a bit wet!

2019 with my now-ex, 2020 alone, 2021 with my bestie... whomever you (don't) accompany, the locks are a spectacular piece of engineering. Best to go when the Navigation is open, as was the case in 2019 and 2021. No pubs = not a very rewarding walk!

My experience at the Marple locks was amazing. You would have to be bonkers not to go there!!! Its a great place for kids and the nature surrounding is astonishing you could probably see about 20 different species of birds there if you go n a nice day.

It's a place we regularly visit. It's great for the children to see barges going through the locks and then we have the treat of feeding the ducks and playing on Brabings park.

Walk the full flight and reflect how these were made with no hydraulic cranes, power tools or modern logistics. Reflect on the fact that baring a little maintenance they still function after 200 years and then look at contemporary construction; Cheapest tender and who cares after 30 years.......

Not far from the town centre is this fascinating example of canal engineering. The locks, bridges, warehouse and aqueduct are well worth a visit, in good weather

I’m looking for lodging/holiday rental on or near the locks. When we can travel again, we are hoping to visit there without a car so would like to be within easy walking distance.

How long does it take to navigate the lock flight on a narrowboat heading upwards?

It took us about 3 hours, passing only one boat going the other way. We were able to open the next set of sluices by running about a bit (well, my boyfriend did, I was in charge of steering) If there were more boats passing it would have taken longer. I don't think we could have done it in much less even on a perfect (my steering was not perfect) run.

Where is the best place to start the walk along the locks I don't know the area well so was wondering if I should get a train or drive and where do I head for ..thanks

if you drive just through the centre of marple you will cross the canal bridge which has the locks either side just past the cinema and the navigation pub you will see a football field with one goal you can park there. then walk back to the bridge there's a passageway under the bridge which will take you to the majority of the locks and on to the aquduct.
