TOP DESTINATIONS

Aberaeron Spain, Traveller Information

A warm welcome to Aberaeron, a town which is on the verge of a grand celebration, its Bicentenary. As descendant of one of the founding fathers of 1807, I am honoured to have been asked to represent Aberaeron as Chair of the Bicentenary Committee. In 2007 we aim to celebrate and commemorate our maritime, industrial, architectural, social and cultural heritage.

During your visit as you walk along the riverside, the shore, the harbour and through the streets I hope you will enjoy and appreciate the many aspects of our town which has been described as 'a gem on the seaboard of Cardigan Bay'. We will also be delighted if you are able to join us in our historical celebrations "Aberaeron 1807-2007".

Aberaeron is Ceredigion's Georgian Jewel of a town. The town really took off in 1807 when the Reverend Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne obtained a private Act of Parliament to build a harbour here. Today this picturesque port is a favourite with visitors from far and near. Use the links below to find out more...

There are beaches either side of the harbour and both consist of large pebbles. Even as very small children our daughters enjoyed looking for different colours and patterns in the stones, piling them up and chucking them into the sea.

Coastal sea trips of various lengths. The boat is quite large (but a little noisy) and leaves from just outside the Tourist Information Centre (see above). I took my daughter on a one-hour trip when she was five and a half and she really enjoyed the adventure. We visited the cliffs to see the birds, looked at other sites of local interest and the local ecology was explained to us. If you are lucky you will also see porpoises or dolphins, and seals.

Top Beaches

Aberdaron Beach

Bardsey is heart-stoppingly beautiful and well worth a visit - there are self-catering cottages available on the island, or you could just go for a day-trip.

Abersoch

Such high self-esteem isn't really justified, but at high tide the harbour is attractive, and the long swathe of the beach-hut-backed Town Beach is a fine spot, even if it is barely visible under towels at busy times.

Aberystwyth

Aberystwyth is an essential stop along the Ceredigion coast. Being rooted in all aspects of Welsh culture, it is possibly the most enjoyable and relaxed place to gain an insight into the national psyche.

Cricieth

When sea-bathing became the Victorian fashion, English families descended on the sweeping sand and shingle beach at Cricieth (sometimes Criccieth), five miles west of Porthmadog, a quiet, amiable resort which curiously abounds with good places to stay and great restaurants, making it a good touring base for the peninsula and Porthmadog.

Dale

Dale , fourteen miles west of Haverfordwest, can be unbearably crowded in peak season, but it is a pleasant enough village, whose east-facing shore makes it excellent for watersports in the lighter seas.

Caerfai Bay

A mile due south, accessed along the signposted lane from the main Haverfordwest road just near the school, popular Caerfai Bay provides a sandy gash in the purple sandstone cliffs, rock which was used in the construction of the cathedral.

Porth Clais

Supposedly the place at which St David was baptized, Porth Clais was the city's main harbour, the spruced-up remains of which can still be seen at the bottom of the turquoise river creek. Today, commercial traffic has long gone, replaced by a boaties' haven.

Llandudno

Llandudno has an undeniably dignified air, its older set of promenading devotees often huddled in the glassed frontages of once-grand hotels, content to sit and watch the more rumbustious younger visitors.

Marloes

Only a mile away from the village, the broad, deserted beach is a safe place to swim, and looks out towards the island of Skokholm.

Traethmawr beach

Newport's nearest beach, the Parrog, is complete with sandy stretches at low tide. On the other side of the estuary is the vast dune-backed Traethmawr beach, reached over the town bridge down Feidr Pen-y-Bont.
