Pontymoile Footbridge No 52 carries the road from Sumerlease to Amberscorn over the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal half a mile from Stoke-on-Trent.
Early plans of what would become the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Doncaster Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Ipswich. Restoration of Newport Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal Society

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).
Facilities: water point.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
