Ceredigion countryside: valleys, villages and wildlife

Explore the countryside beyond Cardigan Bay

Inland Ceredigion brings together farming country, wooded valleys, peatlands and the edges of the Cambrian Mountains. Follow a river or choose a market town as your starting point, then explore the surrounding villages and paths. A countryside day can be a short local walk or a longer outing; plan for the actual terrain.

Rural stories and skills

Welsh ponies and cobs, traditional crafts and agricultural gatherings reflect the area's farming heritage. Llanerchaeron and the Aeron Valley provide useful starting points for discovering rural buildings, gardens and landscapes.

Enjoy a considerate visit

Keep to permitted routes, respect livestock and check arrangements with any farm attraction before travelling. For shows and demonstrations, use organisers' current information rather than dates in older guides.
