Brecon is a town where you'll enjoy losing yourself...not only in the narrow
streets and passageways lined with Georgian and Jacobean shopfronts, but in
the sense of timelessness about the place.
Ever since the Iron Age, this magical spot at the confluence of the Usk and
Honddu rivers and sheltered by the mountains has been prized and protected.
Now the commercial centre of the southern part of Powys, Brecon remains
first and foremost a traditional Mid Wales market town - as you will see on
any Tuesday or Friday!
The origins of the Cathedral, a Brecon landmark, reach back to a
fortification built by the half brother of William the Conqueror after he
captured the town in 1094. 300 years later, the priory he established within
them was developed into the fortified Priory Church of St John the
Evangelist 'half Church of God and half castle against the Welsh' as it was
then described.
