Talgarth Mill, an 18th-century watermill in the middle of town, was restored in 2010 after decades standing idle and now grinds flour again, the only working watermill in the national park. Overlooking the square is a tower house that may take in the remains of a medieval defensive tower. The small town sits at the foot of the Black Mountains, good for walks up onto the ridges. Cilmeri is the nearest station, but a long way off to the north-west.
