Our journey on the waterways begins here
Welcome to Locks and Legends, where our passion for the UK's canals and their rich history comes to life.
Discover the stories, the people, and the legends that flow through these incredible waterways.
Meet the 'canalphiles' behind Locks and Legends - Robin & Peter
We are Robin & Peter (and our rescue greyhound, Dorrie). We are self-proclaimed canalphiles (is that even a word??) with a deep love for all aspects of the inland waterways. Our journey with Locks and Legends was inspired by a desire to share not only our own adventures on the canals, but also the captivating legends and untold histories that lie beneath the surface.
Explore the canals, discover the legends
Locks and Legends offers a unique gateway to the world of canals. Our website is a treasure trove of engaging blogs, insightful articles, and (eventually) captivating videos. From the engineering marvels of the locks to the quiet charm of towpath walks, we bring you stories and perspectives you might not have encountered before. You might even find something you didn't know you were looking for!
More than just stories, unique gifts too
Beyond our content, we also feature an online shop where you can find unique handmade crafts, perfect for gifts or a treat for yourself. Each item is chosen to reflect the spirit and charm of the unique nature of handmade items. Whether you're looking for an interesting pendant, a magnet to adorn your fridge, or a handloomed mug rug, Locks and Legends has something for everyone who loves handcrafted gifts.
