Driffield Navigation - Location

Location

The Driffield Navigation is formed from parts of the River Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and a section of canal. It starts near Beverley, at the point where Aike Beck used to join the river, and is tidal to Struncheon Hill lock. Above the lock, it runs through an artificial cut, to rejoin the river until it reaches Emmotland. The Corps Landing branch follows the original course of the river, while the main navigation channel follows Frodingham Beck to Fisholme junction. The Beck formed a branch to North Frodingham, while the main line continues as a canal through the Holderness Plain to the small market town of Driffield. The Leven Canal used to leave the navigation, in the tidal river section 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Hull Bridge, but is no longer connected to the river.
