Short wildlife walk on the Montgomery Canal
The Montgomery Canal brings wildlife right into the centre of Welshpool and we have devised a fascinating canal trail to help you and your family make the most of this exciting waterway.
Access for all
Most of the canal is accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, but in order to avoid the 1:4 gradient down from stop point 1, you might want to start at trail at stop 2.
