Part of the former Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal which is fragmentary in Cwmbran. For example, there is a 120 metre gap in the canal behind the camera. During the development of Cwmbran New Town from the late 1940s onwards, the course of the canal was severed/built over in many places. The former towpath on the left is now part of National Cycle Network Route 49, a combined cycleway & footpath from Abergavenny to Newport.
