About Brecon - show infohide info
Brecon is an historic market town in Mid Wales. While Brecon is the English name for the town, Aberhonddu, the Welsh name, derives from the River Honddu which meets the River Usk by the town centre. Since the Iron Age, Brecon in its magical spot at the confluence of the Usk and Honddu rivers and sheltered by the mountains has been prized and protected. Brecon was one of the few places where the river could be forded, and so was a good position of defence for the 11th century Norman castle overlooking the town. In 1797 work had started on the Monmouth and Brecon Canal to link Brecon with Newport. The canal is carried by a stone aqueduct across the River Usk. 37 miles of miles of canal has been restored to award winning standards. There is no longer a railway station in Brecon, but it was formerly linked to South Wales and Mid Wales by several lines that included the Brecon and Merthyr Railway. Not far from the castle is Brecon Cathedral. Its status as Brecon’s Cathedral is fairly new; it was bestowed upon the church in 1923 following the formation of the diocese of Swansea and Brecon. Brecon has a small industrial area to which the long-standing cattle market has been moved from the town centre. Markets are held here several times during the week. The annual Brecon Jazz Festival is quite well known, but the Brecon area is most famous as a popular holiday destination for the Brecon Beacons National Park. Measuring 520 square miles (1347sq km) with the Pen-y-Fan at Britain’s highest point of 886m, the Brecon Beacons are highly visible to the town of Brecon itself.
