Tregaron
Tregaron is an old 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 also 67% of the population might talk Welsh. Tregaron is a community. The church is devoted to St Caron. He was a man of lowly beginnings yet "his nerve and generous deportment acquired him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war against the Romans, ruled seven years and also was hidden in Tregarron".: He is likely the very same person as Carausius who took power in Britain in 286 and was executed in 293 by Allectus (additionally see Carausian Revolt). An early Christian stone piece birthing the name Carausius and also the Chi Rho symbol is protected in Penmachno. The church has a tower as well as stands on a rough reputation. It consists of a basic nave and also chancel. Various other notable buildings in the town consist of the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which apparently has actually an elephant hidden in its grounds. The remote chapel 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. Close-by Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is known for its adders, buzzards, red kites, and polecats. The River Brenig is noted for its brown trout and also eels. The river has actually been the topic of dredging and flood-protection functions to offer 1-in-100-year flood security to the town as well as improve the environment for wildlife along a stretch of river.
