Gronwen Wharf
This lonely spot is the present end of navigation on the section of Montgomery canal that is connected to the main canal system. You can just make out the barrier under the bridge.
There is a small boatyard here on a short side arm, which is also where boats have to turn round.
Beyond the bridge the canal looks in very good order so maybe boats will be allowed through soon.

The Current Limit of Navigation
The Montgomery Canal, ran from Lower Frankton on the Wales / England border southward to Newtown in Powys. A major restoration project is slowly seeing this canal returned as a navigable waterway. Gronwen Wharf, pictured above, is the current limit to navigation from the main canal network. There is also a fully restored length of the canal north and south from Welshpool. Image]
