There is a wide range of Canoeing and Kayaking in the Brecon Beacons – for both experienced paddlers and beginners.  Use the search box on the right of the page, the advanced search or browse the list below to find cottages which are close to canoeing and kayaking in the Brecon Beacons.

Where to Canoe and Kayak A gentle place to start canoeing is the Brecon & Monmouth Canal or along open water at Llangorse lake.

If you’d rather paddle down the river, you can canoe on the Usk at Brecon Promenade or on the River Wye at Glasbury on Wye or Hay on Wye.  Both offer a gentle paddle at low water but be cautious if the are high (brownie- red water is a sign).  Then, the rivers are not for beginners.
