Ceredigion,
Mid-Wales, UK |
|
Ceredigion stretches from Pembrokeshire in the south to southern
Snowdonia in the north. Sparsely populated with a strong Welsh
culture and vast tracts of beautiful countryside, the area has
a peace and tranquillity that is captivating for those who venture
off the beaten track.
Much of the
southern coast of Cardigan Bay is a protected heritage area with
a diversity of marine wildlife. Situated on the coast is the historic
market town of Cardigan, the university town of Aberystwyth,
and the picturesque ports of Aberaeron and New Quay. There are
many pretty beaches, especially around the charming village of
Llangranog.
Inland are
the lakes, forests and river valleys of the Cambrian Mountains.
The green Teifi Valley is home to the 12th century ruins of Strata
Florida Abbey and romantic Cilgerran Castle, while further north
are the more rugged gorges of the Rheidol Valley. Outside the
village of Cilgerran, the Welsh Wildlife Centre and Teifi Marshes
Nature Reserve is a habitat for many species of bird and wildlife,
with trails running through the gorge and surrounding meadows
and woodland. East of Aberystwyth, Nant yr Arian forest is home
to the Red Kite, and has stunning waymarked walking paths and
mountain biking routes.
