Canals are great places to go wildlife hunting - because where disturbance has been kept to a minimum, nature has just flooded back in.
The Pocklington Canal is one of the most important waterways for wildlife in the whole of the UK. The canal flows through the Vale of York from the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds to join the River Derwent. Nature watchers can walk the canal's entire length on a grassy towpath.
Our waterways provide great opportunities for wildlife watching. Why not take a few tips from the Hands on Nature team? From bird watching to boat trips.
