Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal Walk
'The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal draws people, nature and history together. Flowing through the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park, making it a must for nature lovers, this canal also shows off its cultural heritage as it traverses the Blaenavon World Heritage Site.
'Steep green hills, thick woodlands and wild moors are all part of the view. At times, the canal perches high on the hillside above the River Usk. The towpath is a wonderful way for walkers and cyclists to explore the area at an easy pace. The northern section forms part of the Taff Trail Long Distance Footpath.'
