Day Boat Cruising
on the Brecon &
Monmouthshire Canal. |
|
| A Day Out
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, pic-nic, nature ramble, family celebration
or just to enjoy the peaceful relaxation of truly beautiful surroundings.
Bouyancy aids and instruction are included so all the family can join
in, including pets. All day boats are bookable in advance.
