BRECON TOWN MID WALES

This is a town where you'll enjoy losing yourself...not only in the narrow streets and passageways lined with Georgian and Jacobean shopfronts, wander down to the canal basin and take a trip on the canal, Brecon also has a cathedral the Cathedral started life in 1093 , built by the Normans on the site of an earlier Celtic church. At the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 it became Brecon’s Parish Church. It became a Cathedral only in 1923

shame you left out the most stunning part of the road to Brecon - between Story Arms and Libanus

[@taffystravelvideos]

Hi Elizabeth I agree it is a scenic section of the road . I did include a little on my other video below kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXzKYZRuf7mGb7csi=5a5QC72GlA48cXaT

Without sounding offish you need to use modern day stills of Brecon as most of what you have shown are from years gone by and a lot no longer exist which is mis leading.Pity

[@taffystravelvideos]

Hi breeze 147, Thank you for you comment, as a matter of interest most of the stills are from when I worked in Brecon which was a number of years ago. Which buildings/ Shops no longer exist? Best Wishes. www.touringwalesuk.com/
