Cycling along the Montgomery Canal

The canal is open for cyclists from Frankton Locks, the junction with the Llangollen Canal, south to Queen's Head Bridge 76, where the A5 crosses the canal. Please take extra care on this rural section, which is popular with other users.

To cycle on the towpath you will need a British Waterways cycling permit which you can download free of charge.

Explore the Montgomery Canal on your bike with Shropshire County Council's Towpath Trail.

Newtown Traffic Free Cycle Route This shared use path starts at Cambrian Bridge, Newtown and follows the River Severn and the line of the now filled in Newtown section of the Montgomery Canal until it reaches Llanllwchaiarn. It then diverts onto a quiet, single track road for just over 1km before rejoining the towpath at Dolfor Lock where a newly resurfaced cycle route follows the towpath to Aberbechan. The path forms part of Welsh National Cycle Route 81 and the Severn Way. A map showing the start of the path can be found by visiting the Sustrans website.
