A short walking holiday from Abergavenny to Brecon along the banks of the River Usk.
From £360 per person
Our Usk Valley short break is the perfect way to sample the Usk Valley Walk even if you’re short on time. Setting off from the bustling market town of Abergavenny, the trail stays close to the river as it meanders through tranquil woodland, with the occasional glimpse of the Black Mountains through the trees.
Several well-placed viewpoints offer breath-taking views over the valley and the encroaching mountains. The walk draws to a close at Brecon, a vibrant town with plenty of old buildings to visit, making this an excellent finishing point for your holiday.
Exploring the fascinating ancient ruins at Abergavenny before setting off on your walk.
Passing through the quaint villages of Llanfoist, Govilon, Llangynidr and many others.
Walking through pleasant woodland and enjoying the variety of colourful wild flowers and birdlife.
