Discover the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal (Mon & Brec for short) a true hidden gem. View the Brecon Beacons from a different angle, a haven for wildlife and a favourite with nature-lovers, walkers and cyclists. Hire a boat or canoe for the day, cycle or walk. The northern section forms part of the Taff Trail Long Distance Footpath, a 55 mile route that can be walked or cycled, starting at Brecon Basin and ending in Cardiff. Brecon Canal Formed in 1812 when the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal joined with the Monmouthshire Canal to transport coal, iron and limestone to the busy port of Newport and other towns in South Wales and the Midlands. Today the canal offers stunning views and peace and tranquility, and is the perfect base for exploring the area.

LLANTHONEY ABBEY/PRIORY By 1118 Llanthony had become a monastery of Augustinian canons, which continued until it was suppressed in 1539. Although now a 900-year-old ruin, it’s easy to see from these extensive remains that Llanthony was one of Wales’s great medieval buildings.
