Foulridge to Greenberfield

From the tunnel at Foulridge to the locks at Greenberfield the canal goes through green fields but there is plenty of signs of industry along the way. The Rolls Royce factory at Barnoldwick is next to the canal and there are abandoned embankments of railways at Salterforth and Foulridge.
