If you prefer to admire the views from the water, climb
on board a cruise boat at Brecon canal basin for a gentle
cruise up the 224 yr old Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal,
you might spot a kingfisher along the way. Gentle, traffic
free cycling is available along the tow path.
To stretch your legs, leave your car in town and take a
T4 bus up to Pen y Fan. There are less crowded routes in
the hills on both sides of the road, or you can follow the
Taff Trail p6 8.2 miles downhill back to Brecon.

Alpaca My Boots p67 and you can lead an alpaca through
scenic countryside.
