Talgarth is a small market town in Powys, Wales, historically part of Brecknockshire. It sits in the valley of the River Ennig on the northern edge of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park, making it a handy gateway for walkers and outdoor pursuits and not far from the larger town of Brecon.
The town retains a distinctly rural, market‑town character: farming and tourism underpin the local economy, while independent shops, cafés and community-run venues reflect a strong local spirit. With medieval roots visible in its layout and stone buildings, Talgarth is popular with hillwalkers, anglers and cyclists and hosts seasonal events and small-scale craft enterprises that keep village life lively.
