We Are Open For Christmas
We have had a great season at Beacon Park Boats in 2021. We launched our longest boat, Falcon, and she proved to be a huge success, cruising the entire length of the canal, including the latest stretch to open to Five Locks in the South. We have had fantastic customer feedback from all our narrowboats and have loved seeing your happy holiday pictures. We have also most enjoyed meeting all our fabulous customers, most of which have rebooked already for 2022, a big thank you!

Schools are going back...and relax!
As the long summer holidays come to an end, it could be the moment for parents or grandparents to breathe a sigh of relief, enjoy the fresh air, a pub lunch, and the spectacular scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park aboard one of our dayboats.
The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is regarded by many as one of the most picturesque waterways in the UK. When exploring nature, few places can offer such an experience of beauty and serenity mixed into one. Our electric dayboats, canoes or cycle boat provide many ways to enjoy it. And with schools going back, it will be quieter now than during the busy summer holidays.
