Monmouthshire and Brecon 

The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal is one of the prettiest canels, winding through the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage site, providing tranquil countryside and industrial heritage. Its a stress free trip along a picturesque waterway, with plenty of riverside pubs and places to stop.

Recommended starting point is Gilwern Wharf NP7 0RL.

river Taff CF11 6JT

At the Taffs Mead Embankment, near the Principality Stadium, there is a small pontoon and you can paddle upstream. If you prefer to go downstream, park and join at Radyr - though you will have to carry your board for a good 10-15 minutes.

It is a great way to do some sightseeing, as you will pass bridges and Bute Park, along with a few pubs along the way.

swansea Canal

Built over 200 years ago for horse-drawn barges, Swansea canal is now making waves for Paddleboarders. It is not very deep and there is no worry about tides, which makes this an ideal spot for paddleboarding.

It flows from Clydach SA6 5PE to Pontardawe SA8 4EB and from Pontardawe SA8 4EB to Ynusmeudwy SA8 4QJ, navigable for around 5 miles. The rest of the route is open to cyclists and walkers, but the canal is otherwise overgrown and not ideal for Paddleboarding.

Much of the canal is surrounded by woodland and a great place to observe nature.
