A visit to Abergavenny on 25th April 2022 for a meeting gave me an hour so so to start a look at the historic transport hub that is the village of Govilon where Bailey's Tramroad, and the Llanvihangel Tramroad met on the side of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. The site also includes the remains of the later Heads of the Valley Railway Line. The linked post comes from just an hour spent in Govilon, following the line of the railway, the Canal and Bailey's Tramroad. https://rogerfarnworth.com/2022/04/...ne-or-more-succinctly-a-short-walk-at-govilon
I wonder if the folks adjacent to the Govilon station know there were once two railroad tracks through there? Beautiful scenery. Seems as though it would be a wonderful place to reside.
Yes, a lovely place to wander round, with history to enhance the experience - two tramroads a railway and the canal! Just a short walk as well, not much more than an hour!
A return visit to Govilon included a visit to private land around the location of the Ironworks to the West of the village, the Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway, and Bailey's Tramroad. ... http://rogerfarnworth.com/2023/07/1...oad-and-the-heads-of-the-valleys-line-part-2/ This is again only a short length of Bailey's Tramroad. There is more to come in due course.
The link above seems not to be working. This one should do the job. .... http://rogerfarnworth.com/2023/07/1...oad-and-the-heads-of-the-valleys-line-part-2/
