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 could speak Welsh. Tregaron is a neighborhood. The church is committed to St Caron. He was a male of lowly beginnings yet "his guts as well as charitable deportment got him the sovereignty in Wales: he made war versus the Romans, ruled 7 years and also was hidden in Tregarron".: He is likely the very same individual as Carausius who took power in Britain in 286 and also was assassinated in 293 by Allectus (likewise see Carausian Revolt). A very early Christian stone piece birthing the name Carausius and also the Chi Rho icon is preserved in Penmachno. The church has a tower and also bases on a rough reputation. It includes a simple nave and chancel. Various other remarkable buildings in the community include the 13th-century Talbot Hotel, which supposedly has an elephant hidden in its premises. The remote chapel 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 huge amounts of the medicine LSD were confiscated. Neighboring Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog), is understood for its adders, buzzards, red kites, as well as polecats. The River Brenig is kept in mind for its brown trout as well as eels. The river has been the topic of dredging as well as flood-protection functions to provide 1-in-100-year flooding defense to the town and also boost the setting for wild animals along a stretch of river.
