LOCAL TOWNS:
NEW QUAY, with its picturesque houses, pubs and restaurants clings to the sides of the hills rising above the blue waters of Cardigan Bay on the coast of West Wales. The town has narrow streets rising in terraces - between several of which were 'ropewalks' for twisting rope in New Quay's heyday as a shipbuilding centre. The sheltered harbour and safe beaches - the focus of activity in the summer when New Quay becomes a bustling and vibrant holiday resort where sailing, fishing, watersports and relaxation, are among the main attractions.
ABERAERON is an attractive Georgian town planned by Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne by Act of Parliament in 1807. During the ensuing decades, the town as we know it today took shape around the harbour and what was once a small fishing village gradually grew into one of the major trading ports along the Cardigan Bay coast. The structure of the town, earned the town the reputation of being "one of the best examples of a planned township of small scale in Wales". Many of the houses surrounding the harbour were owned by the local sea-captains and many are named after those far flung destinations.
ABERYSTWYTH is the largest town in West Wales. As well as having a wide variety of shops and a market, 'Aber' hosts the National Library and the Ceredigion Museum. Also worth visiting is the cliff railway and the Camera Obscura on Constitution Hill. The Rheidol Valley steam railway runs tourist trips from Aberystwyth station.
CARDIGAN, an old market town with castle ruins, a golf course and an array of different shops. St. David’s Cathedral is a few miles further down the coast in Pembrokeshire.
LAMPETER, a small market and university town in Ceredigion, Wales. Centred in the midst of beautiful Welsh countryside it is close to Snowdonia, Pembrokshire and the Brecon Beacons National Parks. As well as the historic and picturesque areas in Lampeter it is also the centre of a network of stunning country walks along with many opportunities for outdoor activities which include the splendid angling facilities on the River Teifi.
