Luxury holidays in a stunning location
Our stunning 36-mile long waterway is regarded as the UK’s most picturesque canal. Unusually, it rises high above the valley floor offering amazing views of the countryside. Separate from the rest of the UK canal network, it remains a tranquil and uncrowded waterway, passing through charming villages.
Book your boatWhat Wales has to offer
Historic local towns
Welcoming towns and charming villages dot the entire length of the Mon & Brec Canal, all within walking distance and each offering a tantalising range of food, drink and locally-made gifts through independent cafés and shops.
Brecon Beacons
The Mon & Brec is situated in the middle of the Brecon Beacons - a glorious national park featuring some of the most stunning natural vistas in the UK. Use a Beacon Park Boats narrowboat as a base for your explorations!
Dark sky reserve
On the Mon & Brec it's not just the fresh air which seems clearer, with the Brecon Beacons only the fifth destination in the world to be named an International Dark Sky Reserve - perfect for a relaxed night spent stargazing.
“We couldn't fault the service at Beacon Park Boats. We were offered cold beer and bubbles on arrival, which was very welcome on a 26C day. The team had hung an Australian flag on the boat which was a nice touch.”
