WALKER’S CAPITAL: BRECON

Nestled in the shadow the National Park’s highest peaks, Brecon is a lively market town with a rich history and strong military influence. You’ll find quirky shops selling antiques, crafts, books and fine local food – including Welsh black beef, venison, trout and fabulous local ice cream. There are countless pubs, hotels, cafés and restaurants – and even the International Festival of Jazz, which is held every August and attracts music lovers from around the world.
