Canoeing
The Monmouthshire and Brecon canal provides placid sheltered canoeing water (licence or BCU membership needed). There are special requirements for passing through the Ashford Tunnel by canoe. There are locks at Brynich and Llangynidr, which must be portaged.
The river Usk offers excellent white-water canoeing during the closed fishing season, and at other times when the river is in spate. Canoeing on the River Usk is regulated by an access agreement negotiated by the Welsh Canoeing Association (WCA). It is essential to check the details of the agreement before paddling.

Details of canoeing access agreements in Wales may be found in 'Canoe Access Guide Cymru' which is available from the WCA. You are also advised to check the local access web site:
