Route Description for Canal and Beacons View Circular Walk
Whether you are looking for a good spot of exercise or are hoping to take in the breathtaking views of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Canal and Beacons View Circular Walk is an amazing adventure that will highlight the natural beauty of the Welsh landscape.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will head west and cross over the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal, before beginning your climb up the lower slopes of Tor y Foel. Continuing on to the west, you will pass by two scenic vantage points that offer beautifully scenic views of both the beacons and the Talybont Reservoir.

After crossing over the canal, you will make a sharp right along a footpath and follow the water’s edge to the southeast, passing by the Ashford Tunnel and enjoying the views of the surrounding Welsh countryside as you make the return back into the trailhead where you began the walk.
