Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Powys · Wales · Town
Brecon gives you a town base for gentler canal walking without making a summit the centrepiece of the trip. The Castle offers hotel dining by dog-table arrangement; Borderers has only two dog rooms and requires direct booking. Start with Brecon Basin, then choose how far to follow the towpath. The longer Ty Newydd route includes more than a simple paved stroll, so check the map and transport before committing to it.
