Carnforth Heritage Walk Step 8

8. Cross the road, turn right, and then almost immediately left into the entrance area to the Lancaster Canal. Walk up to the canal basin where pleasure boats call into the ‘Canal Turn’ Public House. Some half a mile further south on the east side of the canal are the remains of the Carnforth Coke Ovens. Coal was brought along the canal from Wigan and turned into coke for domestic use. These ovens can be seen on a separate Canal Walk.
