A self-guided walking holiday along the Usk Valley from Usk to Brecon.
From £505 per person
The Usk Valley Walk explores historic market towns and quaint villages as it presses north between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains, winding through the lush green spaces of the Usk Valley between Usk and Brecon.
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.
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
Our Usk Valley short break is the perfect way to sample the Usk Valley Walk even if you’re short on time. Skipping the riverbank walking at the start of the full route, our short break departs the bustling market town of Abergavenny and follows the canal towpath 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.
