Jasper & JJ on the Brecon Canal Towpath

The Brecon Canal located within the National Park is one of the most beautiful waterways in Britain. It stretches for 35 miles from Brecon to Five Locks, Cwmbran following the picturesque Usk Valley. Tree lined for much of its length with a profusion of wild flowers and teeming with wild life it is a real joy to stroll along at any time of the year. Cycling, fishing, boating & canoeing are popular too.
Fishing
Coarse fishing for carp, bream & roach is permitted all year round. A popular spot is Llangynidr Pond between locks 67 & 68. British Waterways permits are available at Govilon Wharf and fishing permits can be bought at local Post Offices.

Boating & Canoeing
Day boat hire is available from Easter to October at Llanfoist Wharf & Talybont on Usk and canoes from Gilwern. You can use your own canoe but you must have a British Waterways licence. For information call 01606 723800

Cycling
Cycle 51/2 miles of the towpath between Goytre Wharf and Llanfoist or 2 miles between Bryninch Lock & Brecon
