The Montgomery Canal.

Pete’s MONTGOMERY CANAL (OLD) PHOTO-SITE.

To Visit The New Photo-Site CLICK HERE

The original aim in the construction of this photo-site was to share with you a selection of the many photo's that I took during the restoration work on the Montgomery Canal - Frankton to Queens Head sections.

As a result of popular demand , I have extended the site to include unrestored and partially restored areas. As changes occur, and information comes to hand, I will add to and update the sections.

 

The Navigable restored section connected to the mainline :-

Lies between Frankton Locks and Redwith ( open and navigable as far as Gronwen Wharf ).

 

The Navigable restored section NOT connected to the mainline :-

Lies between Arddleen and Berriew.

 

Unrestored and Part restored sections :-

Cover the remainder of the canal between its junction with the mainline at Frankton Locks and its original destination of Newtown in Mid Wales (these also include nature reserves both on and off line).
