Tregaron
Tregaron is an ancient market town in Ceredigion, Wales, astride the River Brenig, a tributary of the River Teifi. Tregaron is 11 miles (18 kilometres) northeast of Lampeter. According to the 2011 Census, the population of the ward of Tregaron was 1,213 and 67% of the population might speak Welsh. Tregaron is a community. The church is devoted to St Caron. He was a guy of lowly origins yet "his courage and charitable deportment got him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war against the Romans, reigned seven years and also was buried in Tregarron".: He is likely the same person as Carausius that took power in Britain in 286 and was assassinated in 293 by Allectus (additionally see Carausian Revolt). A very early Christian stone piece birthing the name Carausius and also the Chi Rho icon is preserved in Penmachno. The church has a tower and also stands on a rocky prominence. It contains a straightforward nave and chancel. Other notable buildings in the community include the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which apparently has an elephant buried in its grounds. The remote church Soar y mynydd is close to Tregaron. In March, 1977, a cottage near Tregaron was one target of an Operation Julie authorities raid in which huge amounts of the medicine LSD were confiscated. Neighboring Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is understood for its adders, buzzards, red kites, and also polecats. The River Brenig is noted for its brownish trout and also eels. The river has actually been the subject of dredging and flood-protection functions to provide 1-in-100-year flooding security to the town as well as improve the setting for wildlife along a stretch of river.
