Tin Can Retreat

Out and about in nature, you can walk sections of the long-distance Wales Coast Path (15 minutes’ drive), walk up to Cenarth Falls (40 minutes’ walk) along the Teifi River, or try your hand at constructing and paddling a coracle at the National Coracle Centre at Cenarth Falls (five minutes’ drive). If you’re travelling with the kids, chances are they’ll be up for a day at the seaside; luckily you have the choice of some spectacular beaches, including Aberporth (15 minutes) or Poppit Sands (20 minutes). There are animal sculptures to be spotted at the Welsh Wildlife Centre and family-friendly nature walks at Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve (both 20 minutes). For a traditional Cardigan souvenir, tour the National Wool Museum with hands-on weaving displays as well as gorgeous textiles to buy, pick up parcels of artisan cheese at Caws Cenarth Cheese (both 15 minutes) or bottles of seaweed-flavoured organic gin at Dà Mhìle Distillery (20 minutes).
