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 67% of the population could talk Welsh. Tregaron is a community. The church is dedicated to St Caron. He was a man of lowly origins but "his nerve and generous deportment obtained him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war against the Romans, ruled 7 years and was hidden in Tregarron".: He is probably the exact same individual as Carausius that took power in Britain in 286 and was executed in 293 by Allectus (also see Carausian Revolt). An early Christian stone piece bearing the name Carausius and the Chi Rho icon is maintained in Penmachno. The church has a tower as well as depends on a rough eminence. It includes a simple nave and also chancel. Other noteworthy buildings in the town consist of the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which allegedly has actually an elephant hidden in its premises. 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. 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 brownish trout as well as eels. The river has actually been the subject of dredging and flood-protection functions to offer 1-in-100-year flood protection to the community and enhance the setting for wild animals along a stretch of river.
