	Rivers
		River transport proved to be particularly useful in inland areas where hills with steep inclines made road travel slow and difficult.
		As a result, many rivers were only negotiable for parts of their length and could not always be used to ship goods between source and destination.
		However, rivers were unable to cope with the increasing demands of the 18th Century.

		The surface is varied, and in many districts picturesque, especially along the valley of the Wye, and between that river and the Usk.
		The western part of the county, between Pontypool and the river Rhymney, is occupied by the eastern end of the great South Wales coal-field, where the Carboniferous Limestone, Millstone Grit and Coal Measures (Lower Coal Series, Pennant Sandstone and Upper Coal Series) dip westward and succeed each other from east to west.
		The river fisheries of Monmouthshire have been famed from very early times, Caerleon with seven fisheries in the Wye and the Usk yielding a return of 7, ros.

		Ted Smart, was an estate map of the area of Rhymney bridge drawn by David Davies and dated 1806 which showed "an old parish road" crossing the Rhymney river much further north than the turnpike road which was also shown (Photo 2.2).
		The first problem was met by scaling features common to the old and the present-day maps such as the turnpike road, the actual bridge at Rhymney bridge and the point where tributary streams join the Rhymney River from the old map to the new.
		Bearing in mind that the river was of greater volume here than higher upstream, plus the fact that before the construction of the reservoir its flow was unregulated, the topography was such to make crossing here, other than perhaps by foot, precarious.

		At the Rhymney end the old road is still to be evidenced by minor ways which meet the present main Tredegar to Rhymney road at SO 114 077 and SO 117 075.
		Having reached Rhymney it does not appear to have continued to the west and probably turned north towards the upper end of Rhymney to SO 107 085.
		After leaving the bottom of Stable Lane the road crossed the river Sirhowy, as has already described, presumably by a ford, which was quite feasible before the banks of the river were "canalised", at approximately where the bridge is today (Fig.

		Other flooding on main river occurred at Presteigne and Kington where 15 properties were flooded from the river Lugg and a further 24 at Pembridge, Kington and Eardisland when the Arrow overtopped the natural channel.

		A river that used to flow fl with the coal dust of the valleys in the past mining era, now clean as it's many years since the pits closed, the Rhymney now supports a healthy stock of Grayling and natural Brown Trout.
		Now that the river's water quality has improved, so has the fly hatch through out the spring and summer months as well as the water shrimp life - this has greatly improved with time.
		When fishing the river after Grayling I tend to use a leader of about 2- 4Ib, be it fluorocarbon or Maxima monofilament, as this ties droppers perfectly.

		Leaving the Waun Las route as possible, but no more, there are two more likely routes south from SO 1125 1045 one approximating to the present bridle-way another marked as a broken pink line, and the third in solid yellow - all shown in Figure 3.1.
		This is shown clearly on the same map with the old road continuing almost due east along what is now St. Lukes Road to SO 142 106 to the bank of the Nant Melin, just past the Royal Oak, where, it is indicated as "To Abergavenny".
		This stretch of road, which crosses the river Sirhowy at Pont y widw (SO 134 106) is known locally as the old coach road and some buildings are said to have features compatible with this.
