Tips

Andy Lewis MTB 🇬🇧

December 13, 2024

This lock was the first on the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal to be restored after the canal fell into dereliction.

The lock was created when the canal was built c.1800. The section of canal which crosses the river Usk on the nearby Brynich aqueduct is lower than the final stretch of water into Brecon.

The bridge over the canal here is joined to the lock walls. The road continues across the river Usk on a five-arch stone bridge constructed in the late 18th century.
