Castle Boats, Church Road Wharf, Gilwern NP7 0EP, United Kingdom
 

Gilwern Wharf No 8A is on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal just past the junction with The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal.

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
