Mon & Brec Canal

Introduction

Visit bustling local towns and charming villages all within walking distance of the canal, each offering a tantalising range of food, drink and locally-made gifts through independent cafés and shops.

Cruise along the beautiful still waters of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. This stunning, 36-mile long waterway is regarded as the UK's most picturesque, rising unusually high above the valley floor and offering amazing views of the countryside. Separate from the rest of the UK canal network, it remains tranquil and uncrowded, passing through truly spectacular scenery.

Rich in heritage and wildlife, the Mon and Brec (as it's known locally) forms part of the Blaenavon World Heritage Site and the Brecon Beacons National Park. If you want to explore further than your boat allows, the national park has hundreds of miles of accessible footpaths with walks to suit all abilities.

Wake up to a different view every morning and stargaze by night with some of the highest quality dark skies in the UK. The Brecon Beacons was the fifth destination in the world to be named an International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark Sky Association.
