Things to see and do Cardigan (Aberteifi)

Owned by the National Trust, Mwnt is often considered one of the ten most beautiful hidden beaches in Europe. Even off the beaten track, this family-friendly beach can be packed with visitors in summer. It's also a destination where you can take a cliff walk along the signposted Foel y Mwnt path, overlooking the sheltered sandy cove, and visit a ^13th-century church. Out of season, when there's no one around, the beach is extremely pleasant and offers a very relaxing atmosphere in which to contemplate the ocean.

Cilgerran is one of the country's many wildlife preservation centres. Discover a fabulous diversity of wildlife in the Teifi Marshes nature reserve, or in the building with a 360 degree panoramic view, to see a fauna (birds, dragonflies...) and an abundance of flora. Four theme trails are proposed. It is a paradise for birdwatchers, with a beautiful variety of birds being visible. The plus: possibility to rent a cottage to spend the night in the middle of this peaceful place!

From the impressive 13th century castle built by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, there are only two massive round towers left overlooking a gorge on the Teifi River. In 1215, the castle had been taken by Llywelyn the Great. Its superb location inspired many artists, including Turner in 1799. Cilgerran Castle offers very beautiful views when you climb up the tower, very easily accessible. Beautiful walks lead to the river from the castle. In summer, some activities are offered for children.
