The cache is named after the pub on the square which is the main feature on the square
Y Talbot is an historic and characterful Grade ii Listed Inn facing the square in the centre of Tregaron, Ceredigion.
The Talbot pub, dating back to at least the 17th Century, owes its origins to Tregaron being the starting point for cattle droving over the Cambrian mountains to the Midlands and Smithfield market in the City of London.
In July 1848 Batty’s Menagerie, a travelling circus, arrived in Tregaron. Unfortunately one of its elephants is reputed to have fallen ill and is said to be buried behind Y Talbot.
The railway arrived in 1864 and a new hotel was added to the Drovers Inn.
More recently in 1986, President Jimmy Carter stayed there and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and excellent fishing. He liked it so much that he returned two years later!
