Thanet Canal

After enjoying a holiday treat of a full English breakfast in Skipton, we wandered along by the canal.  According to Wikipedia: The Thanet Canal, also known as the Springs Branch, is a short branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, in North Yorkshire, England. It leaves the main canal in Skipton, and runs to some loading wharfs near Skipton Castle, which were used to load limestone from local quarries into boats for onward shipment. It was opened in 1773, and extended in 1794.  Sharp-eyed viewers might be able to spot Mr Sk and Ivy!

I've added a Swaledale sheep in extras because I liked the way she just looked at me while I took the photo, posing in her natural environment.
