Follow the Wales Coast Path along Cardigan Bay

Those who want to make the most of Aberystwyth's incredible setting can hike parts of the beautiful Wales Coast Path, which stretches for a whopping 870 miles. One of the most scenic routes is the Ceredigion Coast Path, which follows the stunning coastline of Cardigan Bay from Aberystwyth all the way down to the town of Cardigan. The trail passes through charming seaside villages, lovely beaches, rugged cliffs and picturesque harbours. Keep your eyes peeled for seals and dolphins along the way!
