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 £515 per person
This user-friendly walk through the glorious Usk Valley begins from Llangattock village and neighbouring Crickhowell, each with their own quiet charm. The route then meanders along canal towpaths through woodland and farmland, following the river. As well as wonderful scenery throughout, the route encounters lime kilns, aqueducts and countless bridges on its way to the market town of Brecon.
This particular tour also includes a circular day walk from Talybont-on-Usk halfway through your holiday. This extension takes you around the Talybont Reservoir via more quiet forests and riverside paths, featuring spectacular views of the Brecon Beacons. Overall, this walk is perfect for new walkers seeking a taste of the beautiful Welsh countryside.
This is a Stile-Free route, without stiles or other challenging obstacles to contend with. Any climbs or descents are short and/or gentle. It is suitable for beginners, young families and those with mild mobility impairments.
