Having walked part of this canal during the HF holidays weekend in Brecon, I felt the urge to do the whole route
I caught the train from Malvern to Hereford to Abergavenny. The train from hereford had an engine and coaches!
The station is a fair way out of town so i walked into the centre and got a picnic from Morrisons
I walked past the castle and through the park before crossing the river bridge
and followed the tramway route up to the canal.

Very conveniently at the midpoint between abergavenny and Talybont there was the Old vicarage hotel at Llanfoist which adjoins the canal so I stayed there overnight in a attic room (mind the roof beams!) with jacuzzi, just the thing for aching legs! I did visit crickhowell across the main road on the other side of the valley (3 mile round trip!) for coffee and cake to celebrate. I also found a lemon zester in their hardware store!
