Llangattock Village and Canal

The village of Llangattock is an excellent base for exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park. There are plenty of accommodation options and places to eat and drink in the village, while Crickhowell's amenities are just a short walk across the bridge.

With the imposing gritstone plateau of Mynydd Llangatwg and the limestone quarries and cave systems of the Llangattock Escarpment to the south and Pen Cerrig-calch and the Neolithic interest of Table Mountain to the north, there's plenty of superb hiking on the village's doorstep.

Meanwhile, a short drive to the west are the Central Beacons, crowned by Pen y Fan, the highest British peak south of Snowdonia.

Llangattock is a beautiful, vibrant village on the eastern edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog, or Brecon Beacons National Park. It is surrounded by stunning scenery. From Table Mountain and Pen Cerrig Calch to the north to the limestone crags of the imposing Llangattock Escarpment immediately above it, the village sits on the southern side of the River Usk, nestled in a scene of absolute beauty. It also has the Brecon to Monmouthshire Canal going through it to top it off, the latter being a major tourist draw. A village with a couple of quaint pubs, nice accommodation to stay in, and a friendly attitude, you simply will not get a better base to explore South Powys.
