Aberdulais Aqueduct

The Aberdulais aqueduct is a fine piece of early 19th century canal architecture, and is well worth seeking out if you're visiting the area. The best view is from the car park at the British Legion next to it ( I hope they don't mind me saying). It is a very low level structure and all the more interesting for that. To emphasise how low it is, it has Aberdulais Lock right next to it, which drops the canal down about 12 feet to the pound below, which seems to be well below the level of the river that passes under the aqueduct. Access from the footpath close to the car park for the nearby National Trust Tin Works.

Perfect bike ride along the Neath canal to resolven, on the way back stopped at the aberdulais royal legion for a shandy which overlooks the Aqueduct. Lovely service and very friendly people welcomed me and the family so will definately pop in again on our travels.

Quiet spot but near a major A road. British Legion very close by if you want to look out and view from a beer garden.

Good place to wind away some time.
Spectacular when you have heavy rain and the water sometimes cover the arches

My ancestor designed this aqueduct. It's in a sorry state now after the recent floods but has been say neglected for very many years. Come on Coombe Tenant family. Dig deep and restore our heritage

Plenty of water based activities to do. Lovely walks.

It was quiet on the day I visited but I've seen people swimming in there when I've driven past.

Fantastic to see and a great place to walk the dog!
