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.
