We sailed along the canal on a day trip from Goytre Wharf to the Star Inn at Mamhilad and back. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the journey so peaceful and relaxing. There was a great deal of wildlife about, the highlight being a resident heron. Views were amazing and the lovely weather made the day just perfect!

Absolutly stunning place, every corner reveals a hidden gem, loads of wildlife, and so pieceful. Insight of the river Usk, many lovely stone bridges, Aquaducts, locks, lift bridges, tunnels oh and many ducks.

Plenty of parking, a cafe and toilets. Well maintained canal and basin with several kayaks with school pupils and staff using the canal. A number of information boards. The tow path is in good condition and the various sluice run offs were covered. A good place for a walk and refreshments afterwards. The various events on the canal are well advertised.

Great canal side walk along the canal from Brecon, easy from the basin. Lots to see along the way. Good pubs in Brecon, Pencelli and Tallybont on Usk

Beautiful scenery and an excellent place to relax. Plenty of interesting walks by the canal and some excellent pubs to eat in or sit outside and enjoy the sun. We hired a canal boat from Road House Narrowboats and highly recommend the company.

Perfect short break of 3 nights. Nigel and Sally are great hosts, showing you the ropes before you set off, a nice personal touch and essential if you've never done this before. The boat is great and whilst we chose the smallest craft (Gilwern Lady) there's plenty of room whilst being cosy.
Everyone on the canal were super friendly and plenty of help on hand to get you up and down the locks so dont let that put you off as it's quite the experience you'll want to try. Road House have an excellent reputation as many of the local helpers can tell you with the boats being well equipped and having new engines and fittings.

My wife & I spent a fantastic week on the Mon & Brec Canal with Roadhouse Canal Boats in Aug 2022, taking my 90 yr old mother with us.
Superb level of equipment and nice touch comfort fittings on mostly new or very new (like our Gilwern Countess) narrow boats.
Don't look anywhere else, they are the longest established on the canal, and their knowledge is second to none. Top tip, book direct, so you know you are dealing with the family owners - Nigel& Sally are amazingly helpful and friendly.

Clean, well maintained canal path. Nice views of the countryside and nearby river. A few benches along the way but not many.

Just had a splendid week on the Buzzard, one of Beacon Park boats' finest! The 5stars of my rating refer entirely to the boat. It was well equipped,comfortable and deceptively spacious with lots of 'secret drawers' and places to stash stuff (and then forget where you'd put it). If I was going to be really picky and find something to criticise then it was the kettle - the whistling bit didn't work and a couple of times the steam rising from the cabin as we cruised along was a bit alarming!
I have to mention the bed specifically - it was big and comfortable with plenty of warm duvet. Sleeping was only spoilt by our dogs' enthusiasm to get off the boat and have an "explore" in the morning - which was alarmingly close to sunrise in late May early June!
The canal itself rolls through some lovely scenery - I would advise that anyone reading this with a view to doing some boating has a week's reconnaissance beforehand to find the best views and make notes. It's all too easy to chug past and then have wooded moorings for the next half hour. Also, although in theory you can moor anywhere along the towpath, in practice the canal is sometimes too shallow to get very close and leave enough space for other shipping. We had fun on the second night, overshooting the chosen destination and then not being able to get close enough to get the dogs off safely at anywhere we tried to pull up in the next two hours (probably only a mile in distance) - the dogs refused to walk the plank! The other thing to keep in mind is the fact that the spots near civilization (a pub) can get filled quite early - you may need to embrace a good walk if you rock up late and want some on-shore refreshment (alternatively use one of the many secret drawers to have your own pop-up bar on-board!)
In summary 5/5 for the boat, 5/5 for the journey, 4/5 for the canal and moorings. Oh, and 6/5 for the bed! Would I do it again? If the weather could be guaranteed (in South Wales?) and money was no object then without doubt. This was a first time since lockdown blowout, not-going-abroad, holiday. No regrets, "Non, je ne regrette rien" to quote Little Bird...
And talking about birds - we had a duck try and stow-away! either that or she was checking out the breakfast table for leftovers...

We would like to do a walk with our two kids (11 and 9) and our Labrador. A 5km walk would be about right and we would ideally like to see some working locks and stop somewhere for tea and cake. Is there anywhere you would suggest we park to start our walk? Thanks in advance

Hi, chriscppaul. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Hi, I would like to bike ride from Cwmbran to Brecon following the mon brec canal tow path all the way. Is it possible? I have a suitable off road mountain bike. If you are unable to say could you put me in touch with someone who would know, please.
Thanks
Chris

Where did you start /end?Is there accommodation along the way ?If you completed in four days how far did you walk each day?
كُتب بتاريخ 10 فبراير 2018
I only walk Llangynidr/ talybont - it's 7 mile round trip. you can start walk at Brecon and to llangattock is about 15 miles doable in a day or there are boats to hire from Gilwern but not sure of price there are loads of pubs that offer accommodation and camp sites and of course air bnb - enjoy

Hi, would like to know if you must have some kind of license to maneuver a small 2 berth canal boat? thank you :)

No there is no requirement for a license. And good instructions are given to help you 'drive' the canal boat.
