Brecon Cathedral

Well worth a visit. Not typical size of most cathedrals but certainly not lacking in any way. Beautiful stained glass,amazing roofs and plenty of beautiful marble wall mounted memorials but such a shame stacked chairs hid some of the more elaborate ones. Some fine carved woodwork and a floor in most parts made up of tablet headstones. Outstanding memorials to those who lost their lives in conflict. Dog friendly,lovely cafe but very little parking.

A lovely little Cathedrial to visit. Set in lovely grounds its the perfect place to visit, enjoy the architecture, history and reflect. Inside you'll find little chapels, tombs, a section dedicated to those who have lost their lives in previous conflict, inscribed tiles and gorgeous stained glass. Worth a visit if you are in the area, dog friendly also and free to enter. They have a small cafe and book and gift shop on site

What a beautiful gem in the heart of Brecon with insightful information about the location. Peaceful resting place for the departed too which made a very peaceful afternoon walk too (weird, I know). The cathedral also has 'treasure hunt' papers for kids so they can look for things/paintings and it makes it interesting for them too.

What a stunningly beautiful Cathedral set in gorgeous and well kept grounds. So peaceful as soon as you step inside, the stained glass windows are stunning and there's so much history to read up on. We walked from the town centre as I think parking is limited. There's a small dog friendly cafe serving food and drinks.

I visited with my brother although I never went inside. The building looks more like a large church from the outside and the graveyard is large although it was unnerving when I realized that there were gravestones laying flat in the earth as well so you could easily walk over people/bodies without knowing 🫣

Excellent little gem of a cathedral. The assistant musical director was so nice and helpful. My wife said he had a lovely Welsh accent - he was Scottish! Cafe and staff were brill too.

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.

Tucked away, but lovely. The stained glass was super and there was some beautiful carvings. Great cafe too

A lovely cathedral to visit and it makes a nice walk from the centre of Brecon. We liked the model of the building inside with the tactile map and Braille, perfect for blind visitors - if only more places could do this!

Was married in the Cathederal 16 years ago so have fond memories of it.
