Ceredigion Coast Path
This walk follows the beautiful coastline of Ceredigion from Cardigan to Borth.
The walk is waymarked with a coast and sea logo.
The route passes New Quay, Llangrannog, Aberporth, Mwnt, Aberaeron and Aberystwyth. The path includes the dune system at Ynys-las, high cliffs, storm beaches, sandy bays and sea caves. Four sections of the path are designated as Heritage Coast whilst two areas within Cardigan Bay are Marine Special Areas of Conservation. The route also includes the highest numbers of dolphin sightings in the UK - see the video below for more details.
Around Aberaeron there's the option of taking a detour inland along the River Aeron to visit the National Trust's Llanerchaeron. The Grade I listed mansion has some nice trails to follow through the attractive estate.
This area also has strong connections with the authour Dylan Thomas who lived in nearby New Quay. Around here you can pick up the Dylan Thomas trail which visits a number of local places associated with the poet.

Coastal path north from Constitution Hill. Overlooking Clarach Bay. Floral species along the path include sea thrift, sea campion, and marsh orchids, which add vibrant colors to the coastal scenery. These plants are well-adapted to the challenging coastal conditions, thriving in the saline and windswept environment.
Cwmtydu Beach. Cwmtydu Beach is a secluded little bay that was once renowned for smugglers and pirates with its many hidden little caves and coves. Sion Cwilt was one such smuggler who used this bay. On the sea front stands a limekiln that has been restored in recent years, a memory of time gone by. During WW1 a U-boat commander came ashore to gather fresh supplies for his crew. But now the only landings on the beach are that of Atlantic Grey Seals who come in shore to give birth to their pups during the autumn season.
Lagoon by the Leri
Clifftop path leading to Llangrannog from Ynys-Lochtyn. Just north of here you will pass the beautiful secluded cove at Cwmtydu. The beach is a great place to look out for seals during September and October. Walkers may also encounter a variety of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants, shags, choughs, and the peregrine falcon—the UK's fastest bird.
