Known for
The Five Rise Locks (the steepest staircase lock in Britain, on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal), the Three Rise Locks, the Aire Valley, St Ives estate, and a Wharfedale mill town with an extraordinary canal engineering heritage
A little history
Bingley's Five Rise Locks, completed in 1774, lift the Leeds-Liverpool Canal 59 feet in a staircase of five connected chambers — the steepest staircase lock in Britain and a masterpiece of 18th century engineering. The town grew as a worsted and cotton spinning centre.
The Five Rise Locks are one of England's great canal engineering sights — walk the towpath from Bingley for the full dramatic approach. St Ives estate for woodland walking. The Aire Valley cycling route.
