The Swansea Canal was once a busy industrial canal and has been closed since the 1930s, but with local community and several organisations working in partnership, certain sections at Clydach and Pontardawe are now navigable.
The canal is a very attractive 'green corridor' through the landscape, the canal and surrounding rivers are a great place to take a weekend walk. We fell in love with the idea that we would be walking through a nature reserve that includes the most amazing dragon flies and kingfishers - we know you will love it too!
