Lovely walk along the canal, originating at the basin. Ideal for dog walkers. There is a cafe on the first floor of the building next to the basin although we didn't use it. There is boat hire and the Brecon town centre is not very far away. Parking looked to be cash only at first but we did notice you can use the Ringo app.

What a clean and tidy walk. The children thoroughly enjoyed seeing the fish and the ducklings. Our only annoyance was with a group of lads going way faster than they should have been on the canal, it stirred up so much silt and mud from the banks. This spoilt our fun of fish spotting so we turned back. Overall, a pleasant walk was had.

Stunning spot!
I live just beyond the canal basin and it is simply a heavenly place. A nice big marina with a nearby theatre cafe. There are also barge rides, canoe and boat hire. The footpath along the canal is just wonderful and you can go as long as you wish to, all the way to Newport if need be. Nearby pay and display parking but the only toilets are in the theatre. The footpath is wheelchair accessible.

Nice place for a lovely day out and a walk. Well worth a visit.

Pleasant flat walk along canal starting at Brecon. Very hot day so a paddle in the Usk was very welcome!

This is a little gem of a place to visit. Didn't realise you could book a canal boat trip at this beautiful place (will book one on our next visit) so we took a lovely stroll down beside the canal.

Very picturesque canal basin, a lovely place to go and explore Brecon from.
The town and attractions are easily within walking distance, with many interesting galleries, coffee shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs.
The modern theatre is adjacent to the canal here and there is a good bistro café within the same building.

A lovely wheelchair accessible walk/roll along the canal path. Only thing is there are no coffee shops or pubs within the first two miles from the basin start point, which was disappointing, there are also no public rest rooms along the way. Some great places to stop for a picnic as wonderful views etc. If you go here, be prepared :-)
