Overview

A 6-mile walk to see some historic sites along the Tennant Canal.

We’ll see Grade II listed buildings, a self-made premises and a Lock constructed in 1817.

We will also visit Pant Y Sais Nature Reserve, just next to the canal.

N.B. We will be walking over and around some fallen trees and squeezing through a narrow gap. Part of the walk could be muddy in places.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we can go to The Tower Hotel for refreshments.
