LLanfoist C is for Canal BoatsToday C is in Wales on the
Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Built between 1797 and 1812 to provide a link to the Bristol Channel and carried coal, iron, lime and agricultural products. After its decline and fall into disuse it was restored and reopened in the 1970s as a recreational waterway.

What is nicer than messing about in boats and chugging along a canal

or laying up by the towpath to take advantage of the local pubs. The canal boats are all different colours and some are individual

such as this mining mole. I wonder if this is owned by an ex coal miner.

Of course you can also glide along in a
Canoe, on the
Brecon and
Abergaveny Canal but take care not to
capsize
as the water is a rather
cloudy, murky brown. A mouthful would perhaps not be refreshing. Although

mother mallard and her offspring probably find all sorts of delicious things to eat.
