Boating

The County offers the opportunity for sailing, canoeing or taking a barge along Neath Canal.

Sailing

The Corus Sailing Club meets at the Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir, one of South Wales' Premier sailing and dinghy racing clubs. Racing is on Saturdays throughout the year, with a popular Winter series between November and March (Sundays).

Monkstone Sailing Club offers a private marina for 90 boats (visitor berths available), semi-submersible lifting gear for boats up to 20 ton and hard standing.

Canoeing

Canoeing can be enjoyed at Glyncorrwg Ponds.

Canals

There are two sections of the canal for visitors to enjoy. Experience working lock gates and tree-lined routes. The Thomas Dadford leaves Neath from Morrisons/B&Q daily during school summer holidays, and on Saturdays from April to September.
