This route twists under canopies of leaves and then, with an innocent bend in the water, it will thrust you into the sort of sublime panorama that only Wales can do.
MORE INFORMATIONThis Welsh canal is a secret hideaway in the Brecon Beacons for the boater seeking escape.
MORE INFORMATIONThis journey is a blaze of colours that change with the seasons under its intimate tree-lined route. A quiet commune with nature, but it’s not just that.
MORE INFORMATIONThe ‘Mon & Brec’ Canal is isolated from the cruising rings of the mainstream canal networks, and the simplicity of this landlocked canal means there's no panic over a crammed itinerary - just moor where and when you want, take time for sightseeing and shopping as you please, and only turn round to return the boat when you have to.
