About Brecon

A cathedral town at the northern edge of Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons), where the Honddu meets the Usk. The surrounding national park is an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Like everywhere else in Wales, Brecon keeps Greenwich Mean Time from late October to late March and British Summer Time for the rest of the year. There is no local time variation anywhere in the country, but daylight is a different matter. At the June solstice Brecon receives roughly 5 minutes more daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further north.

Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 45m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 43m at midsummer, a difference of more than 8 hours.
