Brecon is an interesting town in a beautiful setting and I’m told it often features in English home shows favoured in Australia. Our B&B was a 17th century farmhouse with a townhouse fronting the street. It’s attraction was off-street parking.
View from my window with the camera on zoom. The building is part of Christ Church College established in 1541.
Some of the farm buildings
Street frontage. My room was behind the left middle window. A very narrow wooden staircase led to the next floor.
Street view of the Market Arcade. Its a couple of buildings down from the location of the family pub .
Inside the entrance. Seems to be the place to find community notices.
Rather slow day at the market. The butcher had some terrific chalk drawings on his sandwich boards. The market was looking a bit unloved.
The fishmonger was selling samphire, an edible coastal plant I’d never seen before and which is often eaten with seafood.
Our next stop was the church followed by the canal.
Lone swan. Supposedly the Queen owns all the UK swans which I head on a TV show long ago and found in this article. http://mentalfloss.com/article/22425/queen-owns-swans-and-other-swan-stories
The canal was an attractive area. It also had some big canal boats moored to the right of the picture
Small bridge and booth with a varied background. We walked down the path a bit and then it was time to hit the road for Gloucester.
