Wales | A-Z Index | Regional Index | Introduction
Along the spectacular Heritage Coast of Cardigan Bay, from the Dyfi estuary via Aberystwyth, Aberaeron, New Quay and Aberporth to join the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail at Cardigan. The path includes clifftops, beaches, sandy bays and scenic seaside resorts in an area rich in Welsh language and culture. Some sections of the path are still under development but almost all the coastline can now be walked. Currently walkers will need to use links along inland footpaths and roads between Cymtydu and Llangrannog, Penbryn and Tresaith, and Aberporth to Mwnt. The Trail is being developed by Ceredigion council and Cardiganshire Coast and Country. Public Transport Borth and Aberystywyth are linked by rail, with regular
services towards Machynlleth, Shrewsbury and Birmingham. Local buses follow the
coast between Aberystwyth and New Quay, and link Aberystwyth and Aberaeron with
Tresaith, Aberporth and Cardigan. There is also a summer service along the coast
south of New Quay. Cardigan has regular bus services to Carmarthen for trains to
Cardiff, Swansea, Fishguard, Milford Haven, Pembroke and connections for many
other destinations; also various bus services covering the Pembrokeshire Coast
(see Pembrokeshire Coast Path). Publications If you are interested in walking the whole route, we recommend using the first two publications listed below together with the relevant Ordnance Survey maps.
