LLANGRANNOG

Llangrannog packs plenty of character into its little corner of the Ceredigion coast. From the beach and the distinctive rock of Carreg Bica to the headland of Ynys Lochtyn, the trails here have plenty to show off.

Point of interest – NEW QUAY

New Quay, now a popular tourist destination due to its three beaches, was once an important seafaring town, building smacks, schooners and square riggers. A newspaper noted that in 1907 New Quay had more retired sea captains living in it than any other place of its own size in Wales.
