Britain's official guide to canals, rivers and lakes

Monmouthshire

Monmouthshire boasts two of our most picturesque waterways.

The pretty 'Mon & Brec Canal’ tracks a near parallel route from the Brecon Beacons to Newport: its pretty scenery and lightly-locked route making it understandably popular with holidaymakers. From high up in the Welsh hills, the River Usk winds its way through some attractive Welsh villages and the town from which it gets its name. Both warrant exploration by boaters, walkers and lovers of the great outdoors.
