This is a beautiful canal basin forming the start of the Monmouth and Brecon Canal. It's a beautiful setting overlooked by Brecon Theatre, where there is a cafe/bistro. Meanwhile, on the water, there are chartered barge trips along with boat and kayak trips most of the year. Brecon town centre is nearby, and there is pay-and-display parking on site.
