The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal (known locally as the Mon and Brec) is considered to be Britain’s most picturesque waterway. Situated within the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, the canal offers 35 miles of lovely countryside with lots of things to see and do...
Currently it is not possible to navigate beyond Sebastopol and Five Locks...
