Ready for heart-stopping views of Cardigan Bay in the morning and spectacular sunsets (also over Cardigan Bay)? Sounds like a trip to western Wales is on the cards, then. And when you do make your way to Ceredigion, you might want to stay at Aber Bay Holiday Park. This peaceful, family-friendly spot sits just north of Aberystwyth (10 minutes’ drive), which you can reach by car or via a splendid walk along the Wales Coastal Path Aberystwyth, which takes in dramatic cliffs and more of those unforgettable bay views. After all this talk of bay and coast, you might be wondering: just how close is the beach from the site? Well, Clarach Beach is about a 10-second walk: literally just across the road and a patch of grass – how convenient is that? On days when the water is too cold or too rough for you, you can retreat to the indoor (heated) swimming pool, or just enjoy the spectacle of the sea from the terrace of the club house, from where you can take in a vast stretch of coastline, with a glass of something chilled in hand. Meanwhile, the kids busy themselves in the outdoor play area or the games room… Dogs are welcome at the site, and they can also join you on the beach (provided they stay on the north side of the river Afon Clarach); they should have a jolly good time exploring rockpools and hidden coves.
