Swansea Valley (2) (
Mostly towpath, urban and rural ) |
|
 |
......this
multi-purpose bridge. A canal awaits at the top of the bank opposite.
Turn right on its towpath. |
|
 |
Not the prettiest of towpaths
it has to be said, but a good deal safer than Clydach High Street |
|
 |
An
off-towpath section has to be negotiated. People on tandems need to take
especial care! |
|
 |
Mind
your head! But the scenery improves from here on. |
|
 |
Typical
of the towpath between Clydach and Pontardawe.
| |
 |
But
sadly with more people on foot than on two wheels. Follow the canal
until it disappears underground as you approach Pontardawe.... |
|
 |
....and
the canal gives way to a little used road which leads into Somerfield
car park |
|
 |
Leave
the car park by the tunnel shown and you will find the canal again, as
if by magic. Follow it through Pontardawe as you did in Clydach |
|
 |
Until
you once again are in open countryside along a very attractive stretch
of the canal leading to..... |
|
 |
...this derelict lock just
short of where our ride ends, at the Ynysmeudwy roundabout on the A4067. Back to Part 1 |
