A - Easy Walks

Canal Walk

Take a pleasant easy stroll on fairly level terrain, mainly along the Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal towpath, through Llanfrynach village to Pencelli, returning along the Canal through the breathtaking and spectacular scenery of the National Park.

It starts with a gentle walk alongside fields following the line of the river Usk to the lock at Brynich. From here the canal crosses over the river and winds through tree lined fields towards the village of Llanfrynach a little away from the canal.

The walk continues along quiet lanes to the village of Pencelli, which is the halfway point. Before returning to the canal for the return take the opportunity to visit the 13th century Llanfeugan Church above the village.

The return follows the canal towpath back to the bunkhouse.

Refreshment can be taken at the White Swan in Llanfrynach and the Royal Oak in Pencelli, but check before hand to ensure that they are open.
