Overview

We will be walking along the Tennant Canal to Aberdulais where there is that fabulous old aqueduct.

Then back along the Neath Canal into Neath itself where we can see the castle.

There are no hills at all so it’s a good walk if one is a bit unsteady.

Social after walk
Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Bowens Arms (Skewen).
