Walking along the Montgomery Canal

Although the canal has not been fully restored, the towpath is generally walkable. The canal route is rural and picturesque with good pubs along the way. There are some main roads to cross, and some short diversions along the route. The final length of canal to Newtown is infilled, but the towpath is still walkable.

As part of the Montgomery Canal restoration, work has been taking place along the whole length of the canal to improve the towpath for walkers. Try out the following stretches, particularly suitable for wheelchairs, family groups and baby buggies.

Maesbury Marsh heading south to Redwith – 2km
This is the most recently restored section of the canal and well worth a visit.

Llanymynech heading south to Carreghofa Locks – 1.5km
The towpath has been resurfaced throughout this section with a scenic picnic site at Carreghofa.

Welshpool centre to Belan Locks – just under 3km
The canal bank has been restored and the towpath resurfaced throughout this section including the path around the Whitehouse Nature Reserve.

Berriew
A 1km stretch of towpath has been resurfaced from the Berriew Aqueduct over the Severn.

Aberbechan to Dolfor Lock and the Pwll Penarth Nature Reserve – 1.5 km
This section been resurfaced as a multiuse route so cycles may be present.

Wherever you are walking on the canal you can make use of the new oak benches that have been installed along the length and try to find all of the eight pieces of art, commissioned in 2008 for the canal.

Cerdded ar hyd Camlas Maldwyn

Er nad yw’r gamlas wedi’i hadfer yn llwyr, mae modd cerdded ar y llwybr tynnu yn gyffredinol. Mae llwybr y gamlas yn wledig a phrydferth ac mae tafarnau da ar y ffordd. Mae rhai priffyrdd i’w croesi, a rhai gwyriadau byr ar hyd y ffordd. Mae rhan olaf y gamlas i’r Drenewydd wedi’i mewnlenwi, ond mae modd cerdded ar y llwybr tynnu o hyd.
