There are several opportunities to partake of these waterborne sports in
the Brecon Beacons National Park. However local knowledge is important and you should
enquire from a suitably qualified and experienced individual or club prior to attempting
any of these activities. It is also likely that you will have to obtain a suitable permit.
The river Wye is popular as a navigable river with canoeists. Llangorse
Lake, Pontsticill Reservoir
(Merthyr Tydfil Sailing Club), the river Usk and the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal
also offer opportunities for water sport - please enquire first.

Brecon and Abergavenny Canal First opened in the C18th this canal connected Brecon with Newport. The
canal mainly transported industrial goods including coal, limestone and iron ore. Today
there are 30 miles navigable between Brecon and Pontypool managed by the British Waterways
Board. A tow path runs along the canal for miles. It is popular for canal holidays and for
day trips. Narrow boats and cabin cruisers can be hired for a holiday or you can join
organised trips for the day or part of a day. There are several locations along the
Brecon and
Abergavenny Canal worth visiting in
particular Goytre Wharf.
