Hiking
These locks sit at Frankton Junction, where the Montgomery Canal leads south from the Llangollen Canal. There's a staircase of two locks and two additional locks here, making it a wonderful spot to stop and watch any boats that happen to be passing through. The junction was built in the 18th century but the locks became redundant in the early 20th century, when the Montgomery Canal ceased use. After a restoration campaign and project, the locks and the canal are now in use again.
