Bridge 61 is a small traditional canal-side pub situated right at the bottom of the locks. It is a great place to relax and unwind whilst watching the boats go by. Open every day of the year and serving a variety of local Cask Marqued real ales, specialty ciders, hot drinks, snacks & meals. Set in what is thought to be the old accommodation quarters for the workers of the Inclined Plane, it is decorated with traditional canal artefacts, has an open fire for the colder months and you will be served through a small hatch in the wall!
We welcome well behaved dogs (on leads please) and well behaved children and we also don’t mind if your boots are a bit muddy too! Dog treats are available and we also have a selection of human treats in the form of light meals, snacks and specials. For a sample of our menu, please click here.

Rockingham Castle
This remarkable castle, built on the instruction of William the Conqueror, it has been a family home for 450 years. Prior to the Watson’s ownership the Castle was held by the crown. There are very few other homes that have been continuously occupied for nearly 1000 years and within that time been owned by just one family since being relinquished as a royal Castle. I think this is a particularly extraordinary aspect of Rockingham’s long and fascinating story.
