Tregaron is an old 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 could talk Welsh. Tregaron is a neighborhood. The church is dedicated to St Caron. He was a guy of lowly beginnings however "his nerve as well as charitable deportment got him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war versus the Romans, ruled seven years and also was hidden in Tregarron".: He is almost certainly the very same person as Carausius that took power in Britain in 286 and was executed in 293 by Allectus (likewise see Carausian Revolt). A very early Christian rock slab birthing the name Carausius as well as the Chi Rho symbol is preserved in Penmachno. The church has a tower and also bases on a rocky prominence. It includes an easy nave and chancel. Other significant structures in the community include the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which allegedly has an elephant buried in its grounds. The remote church Soar y mynydd is close to Tregaron. In March, 1977, a home near Tregaron was one target of an Operation Julie authorities raid in which large quantities of the drug LSD were confiscated. Neighboring Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is understood for its adders, buzzards, red kites, and polecats. The River Brenig is noted for its brown trout and also eels. The river has been the topic of dredging and flood-protection works to offer 1-in-100-year flood security to the town and improve the environment for wild animals along a stretch of river.
