Cwm Crawnon Road (B4558)
The B4558 shadows the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal along the south side of the Usk from Crickhowell to the A40 near Brecon, crossing the water six times and slipping between the canal embankment and the river through Llangynidr, Talybont and Pencelli. It is not a road for line-choice; the width swings from full two-lane to hedged single file and back, so the skill is in observation, particularly in Talybont where the houses stand on the carriageway edge and the canal runs above the street.
Talybont's canal drawbridge carries the B4558 and is raised by passing boaters, so in summer you can sit for a few minutes while a narrowboat clears it; the old railway bridge by the White Hart is the other pinch, and parked cars can leave the whole stretch between them at a single line of traffic.
