Wow! Leaving Newport I was already very impressed by the start of my tour over the Monmouthshire Canal and then this; the path along the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal is a real highlight!

You ride on a narrow dirt-trail along the calm waters, idyllically framed by shady, old fairy tale trees. The trail tapers regularly as it passes under any of the numerous bridges, all of which are numbered.

I rode here during the week and I hardly met anyone. I'd imagine it'll be busier at the weekend though!

It's a beautiful canal but what is amazing is that it runs all the way to Brecon
