"Stroll through the pretty town!" Brecon Things to Do Tip by ettiewyn

The thing I remember most fondly of Brecon is just strolling through the town, without a map, just enjoying the atmosphere. When I visited, it was a lovely, sunny day and the bright and colorful houses looked simply beautiful.
The town is quite small, so you can easily walk around and have a proper look without getting too tired. I suppose it must be different in high season, but on this day in March I seemed to be the only tourist in Brecon, and it was nice to walk around the town and to see the locals going about their daily business of shopping and chatting in the streets.
Besides the pretty houses, there are two things that do define Brecon in a special way: The river Usk that runs through the town, and the Brecon Beacons that surround it. The mountains can be seen from many places in Brecon, and I liked that very much.
