More about this scene
The Monmouthshire Canal ran from Newport to Pontymoile, with a branch to Crumlin. Allt-yr-yn is the name of the hill in the distance. The lock chambers on this canal had their own individual size, 64ft 9in x 9ft 2ins – a most peculiar gauge. The canal became disused in 1930. At the top of the flight is a Visitor Centre with plenty of information, and it is possible to walk down the flight.
