This is a beautiful riverside spot just five minutes walk from Brecon town centre. It is a beautiful tranquil setting with parking and nearby toilets (20p). There is a riverside walk and a small amusement arcade on site which serves refreshments. There are beautiful views of the river and the Brecon Beacons from here. Very popular with motorhomes, dog walkers and kayakers.
Parking info: Flat, tarmac municipal car park. Overnight parking is free between 1800-0800, thereafter the fee is £8 all day or £6 for up to 4hrs.

I walked this with my 7yr old he loved it seeing all the Paddle boats and water fun people were having they have a really nice playground further up and amusements do be aware if u take children 🤣.

Easy access for all abilities and fitness, flat concrete path is absolutely stunning and really enjoyable relaxing walk.
