About Brecon Castle Hotel & Gardens

The hall block which is visible from the river was added in 1300. In 1645 the castle was captured by Parliament after a seige and the walls were then slighted. Only a part of the shell keep remains.
Private, the hall block is now part of Brecon Hotel and the motte is in the garden of a private residence.

There are falconry exhibitions for small groups at the castle. Training and organised hunting days.
