Another South Wales canal photo for you.

This is Lock 41, Lower Brake lock at Ty Coch, Cwmbran on the Mon and Brec canal under gloomy skies this week.

This section of the canal is still unnavigable though the locks have been restored recently. The canal here is isolated from sections north and south.

Well worth a walk or cycle along this section. If you're in a car, park at Ty-Coch Lane.

Edited to remove overhead power cables.

A scenic view looking down onto a balance pond and a canal lock in the distance. The lock has black gates. A towpath runs down the hill on the righthand side. The skies are grey and brooding.

Another Welsh canal photo for you.

We don't have many canals in Wales but the Mon and Brec in South Wales is regarded as one of the most scenic in the UK.

This view is just north of Llangattock near Crickhowell. Taken last week.

The canal is very quiet at the moment as the Canal and River Trust (CRT) who own this part are doing winter maintenance on various sections.

An idyllic canal scene. A smooth canal crosses the view diagonally vanishing into the distance. There are trees on both sides of the canal devoid of leaves. There's a towpath on the righthand side of the canal covered in bright orange leaves.

Here's one of my more recent photos - taken from the towpath of the Mon and Brec canal between Llangattock and Gilwern.

The boats are hire boats that have come down to the Herons Rest Marina for maintenance.

4 narrowboats moored on a canal with the hills of the Brecon Beacons in the distance.
