Ty Gwyn Apartments

Aberaeron’s got two patches of beach to seek out, with one of them being a good launching spot for those who’ve got canoes, small boats or windsurfers to take out on the sea. If paddling in the waves here seems a tad chilly, take swims in the town’s leisure centre instead. Heading into town is best done on foot with a 10-minute wander along the coast path; once you’ve warmed up with that little wander it’s also worth making the trip to the National Trust’s Llanerchaeron estate, a smart pad a couple of miles away along a quiet path (also suitable for folk travelling on two wheels). A little further afield are go-karting and coarse fishing (both about four miles away) and busy days out poking around in Aberystwyth (half an hour’s drive), taking in the castle, the beaches, the National Library of Wales and the classic cliff railway. Surely also on the must-do list is a dolphin-spotting boat trip from New Quay (15 minutes’ drive).
