Luxurious Food & Luxurious Cruising

Here at Beacon Park Boats we are lucky enough to have some fantastic restaurants close by, so we have crafted the perfect weekend of cruising for lovers of food and fine dining (with some helping hands from Beacon Park Boats along the way!).

For your first special meal we recommend The Walnut Tree which is situated just 2 miles outside the town of Abergavenny. The Walnut Tree is a well-deserved Michelin-starred restaurant. We will arrange a taxi to pick you up from Gilwern and take you to The Walnut Tree and also a taxi for your return journey.

On Saturday morning, enjoy a relaxed start to the day on your boat with a gentle walk around the village of Gilwern. For lunch you could eat at The Towpath Inn, which is very close to where your boat will be moored. The Towpath Inn has both lovely inside seating and also outside seating for al fresco dining. They make excellent Naples-style dough pizzas, cooked in their outdoor oven.

On Saturday afternoon cruise your boat to Llanfoist which will take around two hours, and turn around in the turning area outside Llanfoist wharf house so that you are facing the right way for cruising on Sunday. On Saturday night we will arrange a taxi to pick you up and take you to the beautiful Angel Hotel in Abergavenny for your Saturday night meal. We will of course arrange a taxi back to Llanfoist wharf for you at the end of the night. Or you could walk back if you prefer as it is only a 40 minute walk.

On Sunday if you start cruising back to our wharf in Llangattock at about 9am, you will make it in time for a taxi ride to the Three Horseshoes Inn in Groesffordd for a delicious Sunday Lunch with stunning views of Pen-y-fan mountain. Afterwards you could take a stroll along the canal towpath and across the beautiful Brynich Aqueduct, which is just a 15 minute walk from The Three Horsehoes Inn. We will then arrange a taxi to take you back to your boat for your final sleep onboard.
