Water Sports

Brecon and the surrounding area offers water enthusiasts a range of options, from the peace and quiet of a slow paddle down the canal, on the River Usk or on nearby Llangorse Lake, to kayaking over mind- blowing waterfalls. Kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding – in fact whatever boat floats you – are available somewhere in the area. All have stunning views of the Breconshire countryside. Kayaks, rowing boats and paddle boats can be hired from the boathouse on the Promenade.

If a gentle cruise along the canal in a narrow boat is more your scene, there are regular daily trips as well as self- drive boats for hire. Water graded activities from Grade 1 (easy) up to Grade 6 (extremely hard) can be found within a short distance of the town.
