Neath & Tennant Canals
There
are two sections of the canal for visitors to enjoy. Experience
working lock gates, tree-lined routes and a quaint coffee shop as
you navigate this romantic example of industrial revolution
ingenuity, made famous by the novelist Alexander Cordell in his
book ‘Song of the Earth’. The ‘Thomas Dadford’ leaves Neath from
Morrisons/B&Q daily during the school summer holidays, and on
Saturdays from April to September.
Those who wish to simply enjoy a tranquil walk can follow the
Neath Canal towpath through Neath Town Centre to Aberdulais where
the basin has a skew bridge and 12 arch aqueduct over the River
Neath.
