Find your starting point in Ceredigion

Ceredigion's towns and villages make useful bases for exploring different parts of the county. Coastal settlements connect with beaches and harbour walks; inland communities reveal market-town history, chapels and river landscapes. Use the individual guides to compare nearby attractions and routes, rather than assuming every place offers the same experience.

Follow the rivers inland

Discover Lampeter, Tregaron and Llandysul in the Teifi Valley, or smaller communities linked to chapels, mills and mining. Devil's Bridge and the settlements around the Cambrian Mountains connect village stories with dramatic scenery.

Go beyond the main stop

Use the individual town and village guides to find local history, neighbouring places and ideas for a longer visit. Leave space for a short walk and time in the surrounding landscape.
