Teifi Valley Camping Pods

There are wonderful walkies all around here on the Ceredigion Coast Path, covering a range of landscapes including cliffs, bays, seaside villages and beaches. From Tresaith there’s a mile and a half stretch on to Penbryn and its National Trust beach; Bond fans might be stirred to know that this was the place for location filming in Die Another Day.

From Penbryn there are another couple of short walks to Llangranog and Cwmtydu, and then a four-mile stroll to seaside town New Quay with its lovely harbour and sandy beach. The biggest bee farm in Wales, New Quay Honey Farm, is nearby and has a live bee exhibition and mead, beeswax and honey for sale.

The Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre is also at New Quay, to arrange dolphin, seal and porpoise spotting boat trips of between one and eight hours. Prefer to get a bit wetter? Drop in on Cardigan Bay Watersports for watery sessions and courses for all abilities.

In the other direction along the coast from New Quay, the Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park has on-land and non-local critters like a llama and wallaby to see as well as the native seals and dolphins. There’s an open all year nature reserve, the Welsh Wildlife Centre, alongside the River Teifi in nearby Cilgerran; have a pause in the town to see the ruins of the thirteenth century Cilgerran Castle.

Castle connoisseur? There are several others in Ceredigion, or go along to one of the most popular historical attractions in the area, the ‘castle of the court’ and Iron Age hill fort Castell Henllys between Cardigan and Newport, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the only one of several forts in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park where visitors can grind flour and make bread like the long-ago Celts.
