Usk Valley Walk Short Break
https://dev.contours.co.uk/usk-valley-walk-short-break
A self-guided walking holiday along the banks of the River Usk from Usk to Brecon.
From £485 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, tracing the path of the river between Usk and Brecon.
Never straying far from the river, the trail follows low-level paths and the towpath of the Monmouth and Brecon Canal through an unspoilt landscape of rolling hills, patchwork fields and woodland between waterside inns, overlooked by the towering mountains that flank the valley.
From £490 per person
Our Usk Valley short break is the perfect way to sample the Usk Valley Walk even if you’re short on time. Setting off from the bustling market town of Abergavenny, the trail stays close to the river 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.
