Aberporth to Mwnt Coastal Path
Follow the Ceredigion Coast Path from Aberporth to Mwnt on this splendid coastal walk.
The walk starts in Aberporth where you pick up the waymarked footpath and follow it west past the Government MOD site to Mwnt. The area is run by the National Trust and includes a stunning secluded bay with a sandy beach. It's a great for a peaceful stroll and for spotting sea life such as dolphins and seals.
