Sightseeing & Landmarks
The Kirkfield Lift Lock is a National Historic Site and a landmark of the area. It is the second highest hydraulic lift lock in the world with a lift of 15 metres (49 ft). It's fun to watch the boats being transported up and down in this giant "bath tub." You'll be shocked by how fast it happens!
