Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal

We walked along a short section of this picturesque canal as part of a longer walk around Crickhowell. It really is a lovely stretch of water: so peaceful and lots of wildlife to see. The views along the way are stunning, especially as we were lucky to have a gloriously sunny day.

We are nearing the end of our week on the Brecon Beacons Canal, as much as we have enjoyed it there is a lot that could be done to improve what is a fabulous spot. The water levels in places are terrible (we were told this wasn't a problem) and stopped us going further. There is a desperate need for cutting back of trees, and plant growth. Also why is there so many "abandoned" boats just moored up along the canal falling to bits? It really spoils what is an absolutely beautiful place. I really think the RCT should sort these problems, but doubt they will. Might make people more inclined to return alass we won't be returning to the canal, but will revisit the area.

Lovely riding, lovely people along the way, pub stops, seats and lovely narrow boats

This is a great place to go for a walk along the canal side and has lovely views in all directions of the Brecon Beacon national park. Easily accessible from Llangattock.

beautiful walk along the Canal first time today seen some lovely narrowboats and lovely people there with a little pub on the side to stop off. Lovely place to take the dog. 9 minute drive to Abergavenny town which is also very nice area with plenty to do, managed to catch a faire there too

Fantastic walks and views

Very shallow in places, got stuck a few times. However the canal is quiet, stunning scenery and well maintained towpath. Very peaceful.

Beautiful walking, peaceful location. You can walk or cycle as much as want it just goes on and on. Obviously it's quite flat as well with a couple of pubs backing on to it, if you fancy stopping for lunch somewhere. Plenty of parking in Brecon, some in Talybont and Llangynidr.

We've walked along the whole of the tow path here (in sections on different days) and I can recommend it highly as a lovely place to visit. It's very tranquil and beautiful and there are spectacular views from different stretches along the way over the surrounding countryside. It runs for 35 miles within the Brecon Beacons National Park, from Brecon itself through to Pontypool. There is a wealth of wildlife to see and nice little towns and villages to explore along the way. Great for narrow boat holidays too of course.

Great place to go for a walk take a day burgan and youl love it.
