Local Amenities and Attractions
Newcastle Emlyn (2 miles) is our nearest small market town with its ruined castle, riverside walks and a good selection of pubs, cafés and shops. There are also banks, ATM's, launderette and leisure centre with swimming pool.
You can visit flour and woollen mills, cheese makers, honey farms and vineyards and enjoy Welsh lamb and freshly caught fish.
The craft centres in the attractive Georgian town of Aberaeron and at Cardigan are well worth a visit and you will find many local artisans offering a wide range of goods to tempt you, including paintings, pottery, glassware, jewellery, furniture and hand woven fabrics and clothing.
Cilgerran Castle and St. Dogmaels Abbey are the venues for live Shakespeare performances in August each year.
The Wildlife Centre, the Museum of the Welsh Woollen Industry, the Teifi Valley Steam Railway and the National Coracle Centre and Waterfalls at Cenarth are all close by. The Teifi is famous for sewin (sea trout) in season. A few hours spent by the river could be very rewarding.
The home of the Welsh pony, there are many events which celebrate these animals and Barley Saturday in Cardigan in April is a traditional fair which still involves the high street being closed to traffic while the horses and ponies are paraded through.
The Theatr Mwldan in Cardigan hosts a wide variety of live performances and exhibitions and also has two cinema screens.
Coarse, trout and salmon fishing is available locally
or for the more energetic, dry slope skiing, horse riding, pony trekking, quad biking, surfing, cycling. or paintballing.
Why not try a half day or one day course at canoeing, climbing, or coasteering? Or perhaps you are into diving. Golf is also well catered for throughout the area. For the really hardy, the area also supports extreme dancing!
Try a gentle canoe paddle through the Cilgerran Gorge with its otters and kingfishers or a more invigorating white-water ride on the international course at Llandysul.
Cycle or ride on the Brechfa Forest trails. Aso in the Brecha Forest, you might watch the Motor Rally of Great Britain, held in October each year.
For a touch of nostalgia take an authentic steam train ride on the Gwili Railway!
