The Aeron Valley

The valley is named after the River Aeron which has its source in the Mynydd Bach ('little mountains') just a short drive from Treberfedd.
The Vale of Aeron is a patchwork of green fields and woodlands flanked by gently rolling hills. On its way to the sea the river Aeron winds through meadows and villages. It passes by the wonderful National Trust mansion of Llanerchaeron before entering the picturesque town of Aberaeron where it flows through the harbour and out to the sea. Despite the relatively small size of the river, it sustains a population of salmon, brown trout and the migratory sewin (sea trout).

The Aeron valley was made famous by the famous poet Dylan Thomas. He described it as "the most precious place in the world". He spent periods of time living in New Quay and Talsarn and was often seen walking in the area and drinking in the local pubs. The Vale of Aeron Inn, close to Treberfedd, was one of his regular haunts.
 

Aberaeron

With its pastel coloured houses and beautiful harbour Aberaeron is always a favourite place to visit. There are many fine cafe's, an award winning ice cream kiosk plus an excellent tourist information centre. Top quality local seafood is on offer at The Hive on the Quay and the Harbourmaster Hotel. Aberaeron has two popular festivals every year – the festival of welsh ponies and cobs and the seafood festival. 

 

New Quay

There are some fantastic sandy beaches to choose from locally but New Quay is particularly good for families with safe swimming and many amenities. Visitors can take a boat trip from the Quay to see the seals and dolphins in Cardigan Bay. Sea fishing trips are also available. This attractive traditional fishing village also has cafe's, pubs and restaurants, a small museum and a watersports centre. It is also home to the Black Lion pub, said to be one Dylan Thomas' favourite watering holes. In 2007 Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller were in New Quay making the Dylan Thomas film ‘The Edge of Love’.
 

Cardigan

This is a lovely historical Welsh market town situated around the mouth of the river Teifi. Cardigan has beautiful stretches of coastline to the north and south.

The town has plenty of shops and café’s plus the Aberystwyth University Arts Centre and the National Library of Wales which always have free art and history exhibitions.
