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 km) northeast of Lampeter. According to the 2011 Census, the population of the ward of Tregaron was 1,213 and 67% of the population might talk Welsh. Tregaron is a community. The church is dedicated to St Caron. He was a man of lowly origins but "his nerve and also generous deportment acquired him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war against the Romans, reigned seven years and was hidden in Tregarron".: He is likely the exact same individual as Carausius who took power in Britain in 286 and was executed in 293 by Allectus (additionally see Carausian Revolt). An early Christian rock slab bearing the name Carausius as well as the Chi Rho icon is protected in Penmachno. The church has a tower and also stands on a rough prominence. It consists of an easy nave and also chancel. Various other significant buildings in the community consist of the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which supposedly has an elephant hidden in its premises. The remote church Soar y mynydd is close to Tregaron. In March, 1977, a cottage near Tregaron was one target of an Operation Julie police raid in which vast quantities of the medicine LSD were taken. Neighboring Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is known for its adders, buzzards, red kites, as well as polecats. The River Brenig is noted for its brownish trout as well as eels. The river has actually been the topic of dredging and also flood-protection functions to offer 1-in-100-year flood security to the community and boost the atmosphere for wild animals along a stretch of river.
