Standedge Tunnels is a 200-year old, Grade II-listed site and is known as one of the wonders of the British waterways because it has the country’s highest, longest and deepest canal tunnel. Opened over 200 years ago, the construction of the tunnel represented industrial engineering at its finest, showing unprecedented technical ingenuity.

Visitors can explore deep into this amazing feat of engineering o one of the family-friendly guided boat trips, stop for a bite to eat at the Watersedge Café, take a walk along the nature trail or let the kids jump and climb on the outdoor play area.

There is no charge to enter the site, park or use the playground, nature trail. The only charge is for the boat trips. Please check boat times as trip times vary during the year. To check times, go to standedge@canalrivertrust.org.uk or call 01484 844298

Events run throughout the year and the huge warehouse can be hired for weddings or meetings.
