The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal offers wonderful opportunities not only for wonderful canal trips but also the canal path is delightful for tranquil and accessible walking. The canal runs for 32 miles from Newport to Brecon. The canal was built as a link from Brecon to the Severn Estuary between 1797 and 1812.

For much of its length the canal winds its way through the Brecon Beacons National Park, offering constantly changing landscape and spectacular scenery. Evidence of its original purpose to transport coal, iron-ore and limestone from narrow gauge tramways in the hills can still be seen at the wharfs at Talybont, Llangattock and Llanfoist. The many aqueducts, locks and lift bridges along the route are a testimony to the architectural and engineering feats of over 200 years ago.

There are a good variety of canal side pubs offering food & drink.

Canal boats can be hired for holidays, day trips or just an hour's excursion.		The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal
