It Has been 77 years since Ulverston Canal closed, and it is likely to stay that way.
The canal is not accessible from the rest of the network, and if it was to be opened to Morecambe Bay the salt water would fundamentally change the wildlife that has developed in it since then.
Even Colin Smith, the chair of the Ulverston Canal Regeneration Group said that people that want the canal to re-open need to 'think it more carefully through in terms of environmental impact.'
