Montgomery Canal, Four Crosses
Looking down from bridge 100 where the canal is currently unnavigable awaiting restoration. There is a winding hole (turning point) here but obviously there are no boats to use it. The sign advertises improvements to the towpath.

Canal Cottages, Four Crosses
The cottages are aptly named being on Canal Road close to the bridge over the Montgomery Canal. Traffic over the bridge is controlled by lights, hence the narrowness of the B4393 at this point.

Montgomery Canal Bridge No.100
This bridge carries Canal Road over the canal. To the left of the bridge is a winding hole, but due to lack of use (the canal is isolated by several dropped bridges) it carries a good growth of water plants.
