Welcome to Top Lock

Top Lock is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated on the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which runs through the village. The canal was built in the late 18th century and played a significant role in the industrial revolution. Today, the canal is used mainly for leisure purposes, such as boating and fishing. Top Lock is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the scenic beauty of the canal and the surrounding countryside.

The village of Top Lock has a rich history, and there are several historic buildings and landmarks in the area. One of the most notable is the Top Lock Cottage, which was built in the early 19th century and served as the home of the lock keeper. The cottage has been restored and is now a museum, providing visitors with a glimpse into the life of a lock keeper in the 19th century. Another landmark in the village is the Top Lock Pub, which has been serving locals and visitors for over 200 years.

Top Lock is also known for its vibrant community spirit. The village has a strong sense of community, and there are several events and activities throughout the year that bring people together. One of the most popular events is the Top Lock Festival, which takes place every summer and features live music, food stalls, and a range of family-friendly activities. The festival is a great way for locals and visitors to come together and celebrate the unique character of Top Lock.

Hyning Scout Wood
This Is A Small Woodland Area Where You Can Easily Spend A Good Hour Or So Walking Your Dogs. For Some Dogs I Would Recommend Leads Or Longlines As The Forest Is Surrounded By A Busy Road And Farmers' Fields That Sometimes Contain Livestock. There Are Plenty Of Different Routes To Take In This Forest Making For Some Interesting Walks, Although It Can Get Very Muddy In Autumn And Winter! Depending On Which Routes You Take It Can Be Quite Hilly And Treacherous Under Foot So Care Should Be Taken. Hyning Rd Lancashire 7.50 miles
