Plan Ceredigion's section of the Coastal Way

The Coastal Way is a west Wales road-trip route; it is different from the walking route of the Ceredigion Coast Path. For the county's section, link Borth and Aberystwyth with Aberaeron, New Quay and Cardigan. Choose a few stops each day and allow time to leave the main road for beaches and villages.

Follow your interests off the main road

Pause for estuary birdlife, a beach walk or a harbour view. From Aberystwyth, the Rheidol Valley leads inland towards Devil's Bridge. Near Cardigan, the Teifi's wetlands provide a different landscape from the open bay.

Make it your own itinerary

Choose a few places to explore properly instead of treating every stop as a quick photograph. Allow for narrow local roads, walking time and the weather when planning each day's distance.
