Standedge Tunnel
Standedge Tunnel is the highest, longest and deepest canal tunnel in the UK, stretching for 5,029 metres (3.25 miles) through hard millstone grit. An engineering marvel worked on by Thomas Telford, the tunnel runs from Marsden in Yorkshire through to Diggle in Lancashire.

Guided boat trips
Enjoy a 30-minute tunnel trip aboard our glass topped boat, while one of our entertaining guides passionately explains all about the geology and history of the tunnel, as well as filling you with tales of the folk who designed, built and later worked in the tunnel. For more info click here.

Visitor Centre and Exhibition
Our Visitor Centre tells the fascinating history of the tunnel and tells all you need to know about who built the tunnel and how, as well as amazing facts about the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

The Nature Trail
Spend time enjoying the wonders of the great outdoors as you follow the nature trail around Tunnel End Reservoir.

Café
Why not take a well deserved break in our café and enjoy a delicious drink or snack? If the weather is good you can dine alfresco in one of our outdoor seating or picnic areas.
