What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Brecon Promenade's stunning riverside walks, offering peaceful scenery with views of the Brecon Beacons. It's praised for its accessibility, making it suitable for all ages and abilities, and its dog-friendly nature with safe river access. Some minor points of improvement could include more varied food options beyond the single cafe.
"Lovely riverside walk, especially on a sunny day. Surrounded by mountains, canals and river, what's not to like! Well worth a visit to Brecon to take advantage of."
Steve Weston
"A stunning peaceful walk, suitable for push chairs, prams, wheelchairs and running. The path is tarmaced with views back to a 3 arched bridge. You can walk this in any weather"
Julie Brown
"Stunning views!
Beautiful location with a riverside walk and only a short distance from town. There is a 'Boathouse' cafe at the car park which serves refreshments but the main thing is the beautiful view of the river and the distant Brecon Beacons aka Pen Y Fan. Great for families and the parking is more than ample. A very popular destination. Overnight parking for motorhomes available at the promenade car park and there are nearby toilets."
