Brecon Canal Basin

A great place to start a walk along the canal...away from the basin, with it access to the theatre, cafe and adjacent parking.
Leave the basin by going under the canal arch and proceed along the canal path, past delightful cottages, sports field and on into the countryside.
We did our walk in bright autumn sunshine and zero degrees on the thermometer- well wrapped up, it was a delightful experience.
Zoey the dog met new friends, canine and human, enjoying new smells and valley vistas as we went.
The town centre, lying behind us as we walked is delightful too. Already decked out with Christmas sparkle at the time of our visit...

What a beautiful place to visit. Whether you decide to walk the canal path or take a trip on a boat the surroundings are beautiful. We booked a boat for 8 of us to celebrate a birthday and had a fantastic time and what an experience. Would definitely love to take a boat out on the river again.

Must say great walking up and down the canal, can do some fishing if you want? (Not sure if you have to have a permit) walk to the theatre where you can have some food and drink from the cafe looking over the canal and even take a ride in the boat up and down the canal very nice place worth a try and visit.

Pretty town.
Eventually found a nice place to get coffee and cake.
Lovely to see the canal boats and you are able to walk along the river.
Unusual cathedral to look around.

Lovely gentle trip down the Brecon Canal in a tourist longboat. Lovely scenery, teas coffees and delicious cake served. Smashing way to spend a couple of hours. So reasonable, just £12 per person.

Very nice, with theatre and cafè on site, and depending on fitness levels. The canal is a lovely walk, can make it short on just keep on going.

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.

Lovely place with a cafe and nice river walk

Break in the weather so we popped in and enjoyed a nice walk along the tow path. Had coffee and cake at the theatre cafe. Excellent quality and service.

Very relaxing and pleasant 2.5 hour tour along beautiful cultural landscape. The captain and his crew were wonderful and welcoming people who cracked lots of jokes. The atmosphere was pleasant and informal.

Lovely little spot. Ideal for stopping for a bite to eat or a drink.
Fantastic access to the canal so can go for walks from there.
Next to the Theatre that has toilets and a cafe.
Near to the park with a small play area too.
Narrowboat cruises and boat hire available too.

Lovely place, it's a really nice walk along the canal and relaxing watching the boats come and go, plenty of ducks to feed and boat trips available, either a tour boat trip or one you can hire and drive yourself (£50)for half a day, (£30) for an hour, which I'm definitely doing soon. Town is only a couple of minutes walk and parking is right next to it.

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.

Easy flat walk for all ages , dog friendly, stunning views of pen-y-fan and corn du ,Wonderful Walk 🏴??????

It is a great place to go for coffee or something to eat and simply chill. There's not a lot really for teens and pre-teens to do, but little ones will like seeing the various boats and river life.

Absolutely beautiful area. Had a lovely long walk down canal. Was so impressed with how clean everywhere was. Not only on the bank but the water too.could see the fish swimming around.how brilliant too to have a dog poo bag dispenser on the canal side. Have never seen one anywhere else. Obviously helps with this problem as we didn't pass any dog mess at all 😊. Would definitely love to have a stay in this area. Brecon Town is definitely on my to stay list 🥰

Its nice to visit here and again as in my reviews, lots of history in the area. Highly reccomend a bit of luch in The Wellington in the town centre. We had a 3 course meal for £16.95. They could charge more as the food was lovely

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Can also have trip on canal or hire your own boat. But I would book that in advance. Highly recommend visiting here.

Lovely place. Great to have a coffee and sit and take in the atmosphere

loved this holiday, we had great fun. views were stunning.
