Hiking

This monument in the heart of Brecon is both a memorial to Wellington and to Sir Thomas Picton, who was considered to be the most important Welsh general fighting alongside Wellington at Waterloo. Picton is the source of much discussion now in Wales with an effort to remove all of his statues due to his cruel connection to the slave trade, and in particular the torture of a 14 year old slave girl.
