Lock and bridge, Fourteen Locks, Newport

This is lock 21 on the Crumlin Branch of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. Behind is Pensarn Bridge (No 6) which is a minor road. Beyond that, a footbridge crosses the canal as it enters the pound by Fourteen Locks Visitor Centre. The canal itself continues between the trees on the far right, descending a hill via a number of locks. The Sirhowy Valley Walk long distance path and Cycle Route 47 are on the right hand side of the pound.

An obliging cormorant, Fourteen Locks, Newport

At the edge of the canal pound by the visitor centre. This cormorant was oblivious to passers by, enabling me to approach to within a few feet to get several pictures. Two years earlier, a heron was similarly approachable at the same spot Link .

Cycle route at foot of Fourteen Locks, with underpass beneath M4

The M4 is 190 miles long and runs from London to South Wales. Major centres close to the motorway include Reading, Swindon, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff and Swansea. The motorway was constructed between 1961 and 1996. The M4 originally crossed the first Severn Road Bridge. It has now been diverted to use the Second Severn Crossing and the motorway over the older bridge has been renumbered as M48. Wikipedia: Link
