On Saturday, the Canal & River Trust helped local communities get into the festive spirit and discover England’s first coast-to-coast canoe trail with their biggest ‘Santa Splash’.
50 Santas, elves and helpers participated in the two-mile ‘Santa Splash’ on the 200-year old Leeds & Liverpool Canal, which forms part of the Desmond Family Canoe Trail.
The waterway is looked after by the Canal & River Trust, the charity which cares for 2,000 miles of the nation’s canals.
