Day Boat Cruising on the Brecon & Monmouthshire Canal.

 

A Day Out Afloat

Relax and enjoy a day boat hire out on the historic Brecon and Monmouthshire canal.

This ancient waterway was commenced at the end of the eighteenth century as a vital link for the industrial development of the area  when George III was on the throne, before Napoleon had any thoughts about Moscow and General Custer was still in nappies. Left by the industry it once served, it now makes an ideal venue for friends and family to have a day out, picnic, nature ramble, family celebration or just to enjoy the peaceful relaxation of truly beautiful surroundings. Buoyancy aids and instruction are included so all the family can join in, including pets.

All day boats are bookable in advance.
