Overview

A linear walk from Borth to Aberystwyth along the Wales Coast Path. Lovely coastal views from Ynys Enlli/Bardsey on the tip of Pen Llyn to the all the way around Cardigan Bay to the Prescelli mountains if the visibility is good. The route passes Wallog where Sarn Cynfelyn a shallow pebble ridge extends out to sea for 7 miles associated with the legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod . After Wallog we pass near the caravan & chalet complexes of Clarach Bay to ascend to the highest point of the walk on Constitution Hill where there is a cafe with an optional stop.  A sharp descent brings us down to the prom in Aberystwyth.
