The
Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is a small network of
canals in
South Wales. For most of its length it runs through the
Brecon Beacons National Park, and its present rural character and tranquillity belies its original purpose as an industrial corridor for coal and iron, which were brought to the canal by a network of tramways and/or railroads, many of which were built and owned by the canal company.
