This is a beautiful aqueduct near Brynich lock on the outskirts of Brecon to take the canal over the River Usk. It is about as scenic a place as you can get in the Brecon Beacons National Park. There are great views up and downstream, and the aqueduct itself is very scenic. It is a popular place to hook up your barge for the night here, so there is always the odd barge or two here to add to this scenic wonderland.
