The coast road above Aberaeron gives a glorious view of Cardigan Bay from Snowdonia to New Quay.
The town, founded in the 19th century and with distinctive Georgian—style architecture, has a population of 1,700. It has a beautiful little harbour with a flourishing Yacht Club. There is a safe beach of shingle and within six miles are the sandy beaches of New Quay and Cei Bach.
Aberaeron has a heated indoor swimming pool, leisure complex and bowls court. Pony trekking is available at Tregaron and Llanybydder. There is game fishing in the Aeron and sea fishing in Cardigan Bay. Golf courses are at Llanrhystyd, Lampeter and Cardigan. Beautiful walks are to be found both to the north and south of the town and also along the banks of the River Aeron.
Numerous opportunities exist to visit local potteries, woollen mills and craft studios. The Vale of Rheidol steam railway runs from Aberystwyth to Devil’s Bridge.
The Llanerchaeron Estate, owned by the National Trust, is only 2.5 miles away. A cycle track runs from Aberaeron.
The Caravan Park is very much a part of Aberaeron and we encourage you to discover the personality of this picturesque Georgian harbour town.
There is an obvious circular walk from the Park along the promenade to the working fishing harbour and back through the streets of the town. By night or by day you can sit and soak up the magic of this setting which is recognised as one of Wales’ tourist attractions. Many of you will be tempted by a honey ice cream or a meal in one of the Town’s restaurants or simply the delicious local fish and chips.
Fantasy Farm Park is situated in the heart of the beautiful Mid-Wales countryside. It has all the fun of the farm, plus a Petting area, an outdoor Play Area.

The Vale of Rheidol Railway is an iconic narrow gauge railway established in 1897, which first opened to the public on December 22, 1902. Originally designed to stimulate the local economy and support lead mines in the area, it has transformed over the years to become a beloved tourist attraction, showcasing stunning terrains impossible for standard gauge construction. After enduring various ownership changes and the challenges of the World Wars, the railway is now a charitable trust dedicated to the restoration and improvement of its historic locomotives, carriages, and tracks. Experience the rich history and breathtaking views from our remarkable trains from Aberystwyth.

Stunning scenery, picturesque villages and a wealth of wildlife – including the highest numbers of dolphin sightings in the UK – make Ceredigion a perfect place for a week’s coastal walking. Discover the area’s rich history, from iron-age hill forts to medieval fish traps to 19th century harbours. Full details on the walk website at www.discoverceredigion.wales
The lovely river walk takes you inland and away from the Town and for the more ambitious walkers there are spectacular coastal walks along the coastline and cliff tops of Cardigan Bay. This coastal stretch is home to a thriving colony of bottlenose dolphins and grey seals.
The Town Trail was opened in 2007 and celebrates the bicentennial of the Act of Parliament that allowed the building of the harbour by the Rev Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne.
