Craft Narrowboats are based amid the
award winning five locks at Llangynidr, an attractive village, well known
for the ancient and picturesque bridge over the river Usk. It enables us to
give you good lock instructions as well as driving lessons, and is an
excellent location to begin either a week's hire or a short break on one of
our narrowboats.
The 37 mile long
Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal has only six locks and runs from the market
town of Brecon to Five Locks at Cwmbran. The canal is never crowded, being
isolated from the main system. Even in peak season you can travel for hours
without seeing another boat.
 It is situated in the Brecon Beacons National
Park and is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful canals in the country.
The rural towns and villages along the route offer superb pubs and
restaurants for you to sample. Within easy reach of the canal you will find
pony trekking, golf, climbing, fishing, sailing, and, of course, the chance
to enjoy many walks in the beautiful Usk river valley.
We
are conveniently situated to demonstrate lock operation, as well as giving
you a comprehensive tour of your boat and a driving lesson. Narrowboats are
easy to handle and even if you are a complete novice you will soon be
driving the boat competently with not a little pride in your new skill. For
those more experienced i n canal travel, don't miss this waterway. It's a
little gem.
 We are members of the British Marine
Federation and the Association of Pleasure Craft Operators. All
our boats comply with the Boat Safety Scheme and meet all current British
Waterways standards. |
