Cruising the Cut at Govilon
A hire boat from Goytre Wharf threads its way through Govilon on a rare glorious afternoon in August. In two hours of towpath walking this was the only boat I saw on the move. The Mon and Brec is a delightful landlocked contour canal with a character all of its own.

Govilon wharf
Govilon Wharf was a key point on the Brecknock and Abergavenny canal for the local iron industry and was the terminus for Bailey's Tramroad from Nantyglo Ironworks. The canal as a whole was linked to many tramroads and was important for trade in iron, lime and coal. Although Govilon Wharf lies at the end of the section completed in 1805 under Thomas Cartwright, the warehouse seen here was built after 1821 as Bailey's iron warehouse
The Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal (now known as the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal - 'Mon and Brec') was constructed between 1797 and 1812. Gradually the railway took traffic off the canal and eventually it was bought out by the Great Western Railway. Restoration work began in 1964 and continues, which ambitious plans to reopen to Newport. The warehouse now forms part of the Govilon Boat Club.
