A disused canal turned into a visitor attraction with 14 locks and a walk of around 4 miles. Varied habitat with mixed trees, bushes, farmland and houses. Good cafe, large car park with a small charge. You can either walk towards Newport along the canal for a distance of 2 miles or towards Risca with a distance of 3 miles. The reservoir close by also attracts Ribar on occasions. Plenty to see at all times of the year.
