Ceredigion Coast | Beaches and Coastal Towns

You’re into tasting local delicacies and wandering small seaside towns or villages? Tick.

Walking a vast coastline and taking in the tranquil wildlife is more your thing? Great.

Adrenaline and big swells feature heavily in your vocabulary? Nice, we’re fluent.

Mid Wales has one of the largest and finest shorelines in the UK and the Wales Coast Path hugs the coast which means we have a whole lot to offer.

Its Mid Wales' authenticity that makes it a really big deal, and that means the hardest decision you’ll ever have to make while visiting is: “What’s next?”

Whatever you look for in a retreat, rest assured – this is where you’ll find it.

Exploring the Mid Wales Coast? we know just the place

Aberystwyth is a University town and the largest town in Mid Wales, home to the National Library of Wales. For the best view of the town climb the steep Constitution Hill, either on foot or aboard the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway; the longest funicular electric railway in Britain.

New Quay is a picturesque town on the Mid Wales coast. From the harbour, you can see the famous Cardigan Bay dolphins most days in the summer.

​Aberaeron's Georgian architecture was deemed so picturesque that it was featured on postage stamps. This fishing village is world famous for the quality of its honey (plus honey ice-cream and honey mustard produced locally) and also features prominently on the Dylan Thomas trail.

In Cardigan, the town's buildings are predominately Georgian and Victorian in style, many of which are in use as boutiques, traditional shops, inns and places to eat and drink. There is a wealth of local food producers in the surrounding area, and their produce is found on many menus throughout the town.
