A self-guided walking holiday along the Usk Valley from Usk to Brecon.
From £505 per person
The Usk Valley Walk is an approachable walk that winds through the Usk Valley between Usk and Brecon. It explores historic market towns and quaint villages as it presses north between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains.
The trail follows the path of the Usk River to join the towpath of the Monmouth and Brecon Canal, utilising firm paths underfoot as it delves through an unspoilt landscape of rolling hills, patchwork fields and woodland between waterside inns, overlooked by the towering mountains that flank the valley. Each day, you can choose to stick to the easier walking surfaces of the canal towpath or climb into the hills for beautiful views over this lush terrain.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
From £505 per person
The full Usk Valley Walk walking holiday spans 38 miles from Usk to Brecon. Along the banks of the Usk River and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, the Usk Valley Walk winds its way between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains, exploring plenty of historic market towns and charming villages on the way.
With its combination of incredible scenery, changing terrain and intriguing settlements to discover, the Usk Valley Walk is a wonderful foray into the heart of the Welsh countryside. Climb from the canal and into the hills for far-reaching views, or keep to the towpath for a gentle, relaxing amble.

“We really enjoyed our walk. We walked in the morning which then gave us time later to discover and explore each stop on the way. We were very lucky with the weather. We met friendly and helpful people. Everything worked well. Our luggage was always delivered on time. The instructions were clear. We have the knack of getting lost anywhere but it was hard to get lost when following a canal. We live in Australia and are in our 70's.”Ms Hall, Australia
