Tregaron is an ancient market community 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 as well as 67% of the population could talk Welsh. Tregaron is a neighborhood. The church is committed to St Caron. He was a man of lowly origins but "his guts and also generous deportment obtained him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war against the Romans, reigned 7 years and also was hidden in Tregarron".: He is probably the exact same person as Carausius that took power in Britain in 286 and also was assassinated in 293 by Allectus (also see Carausian Revolt). A very early Christian stone slab bearing the name Carausius as well as the Chi Rho symbol is maintained in Penmachno. The church has a tower and bases on a rough renown. It includes a basic nave as well as chancel. Various other remarkable buildings in the town include the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which apparently has actually 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 cops raid in which large quantities of the drug LSD were confiscated. Close-by Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is understood for its adders, buzzards, red kites, and also polecats. The River Brenig is kept in mind for its brown trout as well as eels. The river has been the topic of dredging and flood-protection works to supply 1-in-100-year flooding security to the town and enhance the environment for wildlife along a stretch of river.
