    Hiking

    These are local historic lime kilns from the time of the canal’s inception. There are three historic limekilns along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canals. Here in The Watton, Llangattock, and Goytre. They have all been restored through financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Brecon Beacons Trust. They are an important part of the history of the community and the canal.
