This year is the 225th anniversary of the 'Brecon Canal' - the predecessor to the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal - and we at Beacon Park Boats are delighted to do our bit in celebrating this historic waterway.

As part of the planned activities to mark the occasion, we have been delighted to be able to provide glorious illustrations from our friend the late Michael Blackmore of the canal. Take a look at Michael's work via the 'Brecon Canal 225 celebrations' link below and look out for further news around the Brecon Canal 225 celebrations to follow.
