Near the southern entrance of the Forest Farm nature, we have the Melingriffith Feeder on the left, and one of the few remaining sections of the Glamorganshire Canal on the right. The Sunny Bank Weir bridge dates from 1851, and one side of it is rounded, to allow the tow ropes of horse-drawn barges to be pulled over easily.
