Local Area

Local Area... Caerwedros is just 1.5 miles from Cwmtydu where, in early Autumn, you may see seals and pups who use the beach as a nursery. Cwmtydu is about 30 minute walk from Brynheulog. You’ll find parking and a small cafe (open during summer months) on the beach front. Cwmtydu is a small coastal inlet where the river gently runs into the sea where, in the summer, children play safely. Fishing for sea bass from the rocks is a popular pastime, and for the more energetic there is a coastal walk from Cwmtydu to New Quay.

New Quay is a small coastal town of narrow streets. It has an ample supply of public houses and smart restaurants some of which overlook the sheltered harbour and safe beaches. During summer months it becomes a bustling resort where sailing, fishing and watersports are among many attractions. The wildlife around the Cardigan coast is amazing with dolphins and seals which can be watched from the harbour. New Quay is famous for the writer Dylan Thomas, where in 2007 the film ‘The Edge of Love’ was made about the period he lived in New Quay.
