Monmouthshire Canal Towpath

Highlight • River

Really pleasant shared path. Surface is generally good, a mix of hardback gravel and tarmac. It is a shared path, so be nice - it's a great route for a chilled leisurely ride.

Tip by

10.9 km

The old red sandstone bridge was built between 1746 and 1747. It has five arches and was widened in 1836-7, although it might not feel like it if traffic is busy! If you opt for the footpath, please dismount.

Lovely garden centre with a little cafe in the car park. Has toilets in the carpark. Food options are limited but there is plenty of cake and ice cream sundaes …

Wisteria Flowers on Stone Wall

Highlight • Structure

This was in May after lots of rain, it obviously stood out while I enjoyed my Scotch Egg snack. The ideal food for long bike rides.
