There are many people that use Swansea Canal – perhaps not on the canal itself, but alongside it on the towpath. Walkers, joggers and cyclists – adults and children alike enjoy many aspects of the canal. And then of course there are the birds, ducks, dogs and cats and no doubt a million insects too.
The Swansea Canal Society clearly do an excellent job of taking care of the canal as well as restoring it where possible.
At this point on my walk this week, I was passing Coed Gwilym Park. The canal has left the industrial area of Clydach with The Mond Nickel Works and is heading up the valley towards Pontardawe. The houses and gardens have changed, Spring is starting to show and the canal society is advertising itself and looking for new members.

Those place names are a real challenge for me, but the places themselves sure are lovely. The metal sculptures caught my eye, but the entirety of the canal and towpath are really pleasing.
