Brecon
The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful canals of the network, set within the spectacular mountain scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Brecon Basin is at the northern extent of the navigable section of the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal, right in the heart of the delightful town of Brecon.
As well as the shops, pubs and hotels of this busy market town, Brecon is a major tourist base for those wishing to explore the National Park and its surrounding attractions - including the book town of Hay-on-Wye, Abergavenny, Crickhowell, the World Heritage Site at Blaenavon (including the Big Pit Mining Museum and Ironworks), the Brecon Mountain Railway at Merthyr Tydfil and the border castles and historic houses including those at Tretower, Whitecastle and Grosmont. Two world-famous annual cultural events are centred on the area - the Brecon Jazz Festival in August and the Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival in May.
