The canal towpaths around Pontymoile Canal Basin in Torfaen are excellent for dog walking. The paths are generally wide enough for dogs to walk comfortably alongside their owners. It is advisable to keep dogs on a lead, especially near the basin itself with boat movements, near locks, moored boats, and when cyclists are passing (as towpaths are often shared-use). Be mindful of anglers. The canal provides water, but always ensure it's safe for your dog to drink or enter, and be aware of steep banks.
