Ceredigon

Ceredigon (prevously known as Cardiganshire) comprises around half the coastline of Ceredigon Bay. The county town is Cardigan which was a major port until its harbour silted up. It is one of the least populated counties of Wales. A large proportion of the population speak Welsh. It is home to the famous university town of Aberystwyth.

Ceredigon is known to have been inhabited since prehistoric times and there are many hill fort sites.

There are a number of small villages and towns along the coast but the best known and arguably the most attractive are New Quay and Aberaeron. However as a whole, the county is a rural, farming area.

To the east of the county are the Cambrian Mountains.

The coastline is famous for regular sightings of Bottlenose Dolphins, Porpoises and Grey Seals.

The Ceredigon Coast Path now forms part of the Wales Coast Path, which is now complete along the whole coast of Wales. It provides some great walking opportunities and is an important element in my walks. It is well signposted.

There are a series of Wales Coast Path Official Guides
