Mid Wales has been a favourite place for holidays for many years. Originally the seaside resorts of Aberystwyth and Barmouth developed with the coming of the Cambrian Coast railway.
The towns and villages along the coast are a joy to explore. The stone built villages of the Snowdonia National Park, Harlech and Llanbedr. The bright and breezy resort of Barmouth, Tywyn and Aberdyfi, whose harbour has been the subject of many paintings. Further south, visitors enjoy the sands at Borth, the boat filled marina at Aberystwyth, pretty Georgian Aberaeron, water activities at New Quay and Cardigan at the mouth of the Teifi estuary.
