The Dyfi Estuary: Aberdyfi to Borth

A long inland loop through the countryside on either side of the Dyfi Estuary via Machynlleth (the lowest road crossing point) takes the coast path through beautiful hill country, with lovely views, returning to the coast at Borth.

The Ceredigion Coast Path: Ynyslas to Cardigan

Promoted by Ceredigion County Council, particularly in association with the Ramblers and Aberystwyth Conservation Volunteers (who assisted with much of the physical improvement work), the Ceredigion Coast Path (www.ceredigioncoastpath.org.uk) was funded under the EU’s Objective 1 programme for West Wales and the Valleys and was officially opened on 3 July 2008 by Jane Davidson AM, the Welsh Assembly Government Environment, Sustainability and Housing Minister.

The path starts at the flat lands at Ynyslas and joins the Wales Coast Path at Borth. Over a distance of just short of 100km (60 miles), it links Ynyslas with Cardigan (Aberteifi) on the Teifi Estuary, following some of Wales’ finest and most varied coast. It is quite different in character from the Snowdonia section: for the first time on the route there are extensive cliffs and the walking becomes much more truly coastal. The path runs magnificently over the cliffs to Aberystwyth and Llanrhystud, then an easy section along a narrow coastal plain leads to a long stretch of wonderfully rugged coastline, which is followed via Aberaeron, New Quay and Aberporth all the way to Mwnt before the way turns inland along the Teifi Estuary to Cardigan. The path follows many sections of pre-existing and often improved rights of way, as well as a number of specially created sections.
