Overview

Join Clive as he takes us on a lovely walk south along the Neath Canal.

This haven for wildlife is sandwiched between the River Neath and the busy road but we can enjoy the peace of the countryside while commuters fight their way to and from Neath.

At Giant’s Grave, we’ll cross through a few streets to enter Jersey Park.

From there, we’ll follow some Bridleways and streets back into the centre of Neath and our starting point.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to a local hostelry.
