    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.

    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!
