Overview

A lovely walk along the Neath Canal and returning through forestry.

From the Resolven Canal Basin, we will follow the towpath for approximately three miles towards Glyn Neath.

Our return journey will be through forestry on the other side of the Neath Valley which will bring us back to the start.

N.B.  There were a few obstructions along the way which have been reported to NPT Council but if not cleared by the time of our walk, we may have to negotiate our way around the fallen trees!

 

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to a local venue.
