Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal
- Why it's best for beginners: Flat, gentle canal-side walking
- Distance: 36 miles/58km
- Duration: Two to three days
- Difficulty: Easy
One of the UK’s quietest, least known canals isn’t even connected to the rest of the network but offers a leafy, flat, easy walking adventure through the Usk Valley. Historic towns like Crickhowell and Abergavenny provide en-route facilities while walking highlights will include an aqueduct, tunnel, locks, lifting bridges… and fine Brecon Beacons views.
