The Harbour SE 269 880
The Harbour
In 1767, a canal was started to make the River Swale navigable to Boroughbridge. Although £5,000 was raised the following year to include a four mile stretch of Bedale Beck, the scheme ran out of money and was abandoned.
Two mooring rings are still in place in the harbour wall.
