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

Great cruise down into Abergavenny for coffee!

Beautiful views and great history.

Lovely ride seeing around the Clydach ironworks

one of the most interesting bike paths with many beautiful places

Beautiful place to be.

Nice place for cycling

Great ride, can get tight with height and width on some bridges but in all a mostly paved cycle through Cwmbran with light gravel down to Newport and up past Pontypool, I’d recommend carrying a spare inner tube or have slime tubes installed and spare as sometimes the odd bramble is on the track after trimming!

gorgeous views, very popular with walkers, so be aware

ideal for cycling, road bike would do it although gravel/mtb would be more comfortable. very popular with walkers so be aware

Mostly tarmac

go on the canal in the week..much quieter.

Pretty stone bridge over the canal near the River Usk.

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal links up a small network of canals, running 35 navigable miles (56km) through the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park for the majority of its length.

evidence of railway platforms and steps to the platforms still exist

Not one for the weekend but will get you from Newport into the Brecons in no time at all. Either take the canal all the way to Brecon for the north ascent of the Gap, or turn left at Talybont for the Blaen-y-glyn climbs, or get off at Abergavenny for the Black Mountains. Gravel bike recommended but doable on 25mm tyres in the dry, at least as far as Gilwern.

Can be very muddy off track but offering some great views of local habitats and wildlife Birdlife abounds, aside from the obvious resident waterbirds, recent highlights include Grey and Pied Wagtails, Buzzards, Red Kite, Sparrowhawk, Stock Dove, Raven, Jay, Kingfisher (mostly just flying through) Nuthatch and Greenfinch, Chaffinch with Swifts, Swallows, House and Sand Martins foraging. Insect life very good as expected. The adjacent Ty Coch woodland is worth visiting but on foot only, looking out over the open fields and copses to the South and West can be productive for more unusual species like Kestrel and Pergrine foraging or passing through.

Moderate trail depending on the distance, plenty to explore

This is the canal tunnel that goes underneath the A40 dual carriageway. It is quite a length and the footway is narrow, so if you are on a bicycle I would suggest you take it carefully as pedestrians have right of way here.
