About Talgarth
Talgarth is a delightful market town in the heart of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. It nestles in the foot hills of Mynedd Du/the Black Mountains. Home to the restored Talgarth Mill, visitors can see the enormous waterwheel milling the flour, and the café and bakery are popular (reservations recommended). Nature lovers will enjoy walks to Pwll-y-Wrach Nature Reserve and the surrounding countryside – follow the signs from the village to walk up the hill to it (very limited parking). There are cosy pubs, a welcoming community, and a calendar of local events.

St Gwendoline's Church
St Gwendoline’s Church in Talgarth, Powys, primarily dates back to around 1400, with its tower added in the 15th century. The church is traditionally believed to occupy the burial site of St Gwendoline, a descendant of the 5th-century King Brychan Brycheiniog. Notably, it houses the tomb of Howell Harris, a prominent figure in the 18th-century Welsh Methodist revival. The church underwent restoration in 1873.
