Brecon/Aberhonddu (pop. 6,000), which lends its name to the mountains and the national park, lies in a beautiful setting in the valley of the Usk at its junction with the Honddu and the Tarell. It has many Georgian houses, remains of the medieval town walls and a 12th/13th century castle, which was razed to the ground in the 17th century.
