Brecon Cathedral is a hidden gem in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, offering a serene and inspiring experience. The cathedral itself, with its stunning Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to centuries of history and devotion. Inside, you'll find beautiful stained glass windows, intricate woodwork, and a peaceful atmosphere that invites quiet reflection. The surrounding grounds are equally charming, with well-tended gardens and a tranquil ambiance that complements the cathedral's spiritual aura. The nearby rolling hills and the River Honddu enhance the scenic beauty, making the whole area ideal for a leisurely stroll or a moment of contemplation. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or simply looking for a picturesque escape, Brecon Cathedral and its surroundings offer a truly delightful experience.

Such an interesting cathedral, lots to explore and the information sheets have activities for children too. There is parking next to the cathedral and the cafe and bookshop was open during my visit. Plenty of sandwiches, cakes and drinks to choose from, staff were lovely. A great place to stop at especially if you're on a journey through Bannau Brycheiniog.

Some lovely details scattered around this beautiful building. Very quiet and calm. Not the biggest of Cathedrals, doesn't take long to take it all in. Set up on the hill in Brecon, we walked into town afterwards, the walk back up was slow. Good gift shop and tea house. Worth a visit if you are passing through.

Not a major attraction like some cathedrals in England but it's a hidden gem. Was very quiet and peaceful with hardly anyone else there. Entry is free. There are several interesting ancient artifacts placed around the cathedral, including an arrow sharpening stone used by archers supporting King Henry V in the 1415 Battle of Agincourt.

Lovely building to visit, and we got a very warm welcome. This cathedral is worth a visit, so take time to go and have a look. I met a member of the cathedral staff when he visited my church in London, and he told me that the next time I was in Wales, I should visit, so I did.

A beautiful cathedral situated a few minutes walk from the the town center. Free to enter when open. There are garden walks and a handy cafe within the grounds of the cathedral. Car parking is limited locally but there are car parks (payable) a few minutes walk away. There seems to be several events planned over the summer months to compliment the regular services etc. look out for notices of forthcoming events on the notice boards and social media. We were lucky to visit when a male voice choir were performing there.
