   An amazing piece of more than 250 year old engineering. We've gone up and down in our boat, which is still terrifying with the depth of them but the works are amazing. So are the views, it's a great walk. The cafe is also great.

   A lovely walk up past the five locks. This used to be the highway to Liverpool on river boats & barges. A must for all walkers on a beautiful day wander up past the Victorian Engineering of the Five Locks. There is a wicked little coffee shop at the top of the Locks we had to pop in and grad a sandwich and Tea, This was very reasonable for £9.00 A must if you like to de tune from the modern life and want a slower pace.

   I should really visit more with this being right on our doorstep. Took my son down today to have him walk over the bridges on the 5 rise and we ended up watching a barge come up. He was so mesmerised by it. The three lock keepers on today were really nice and let him help open some of the locks by pushing which really made his day. They were so helpful and great with him. Lovely clean area and well looked after. Great for anyone to enjoy.

   Nice area and an amazing bit of engineering. Quite hard to get a good photo of all 5 locks. Was surprised no boat tours through the lock. If you struggle with mobility, take a scooter as is steep and slippy.

   A wonderful place for a gongoozla. I am not good with heights nor with water, so you would think this is not the place for me, but it is incredible. There is a cafe at the top and a water point for the boaters. At the top there is a swing bridge to be operated before you can access the rise. CRT were on hand to open the bridge and then help a boater through. The water really shoots out under some pressure as the photo hopefully shows. It was a pretty dull wintry day, but the experience is excellent. A little further down is the Bingley 3 staircase locks which we will visit on our next time.

   Really nice place to have a walk and explore, was a fun way to educate the kids on some local history and lock engineering.

   Bingley Five Rise Locks, a good place to visit. Realising that the entire canal (Leeds to Liverpool) and locks were all dug/built by hand is quite unbelievable.

   A sight well worth seeing with a good cafe at the top and only a short walk to another 3 locks. Liked it so much we stayed for over an hour to watch a boat go up.

   Nice little place to stop for a walk and watch the canal boats make their way through the locks. Fascinating to think how old they are. There's a little cafe here too, but was closed when we visited.
