National Trust car park at site. Beautiful church. Lovely views from the hill climb, which isn’t actually that bad to climb!!! Quite a few steps down to the beach. If coming in rain, the footpath and steps do flood so wear wellies!!! Small cafe and shop half way down to beach with friendly staff. Beautiful sandy cove. Don’t sit near the back due to erosion. Recommended.

Suitable for all ages from 3 years +. Well behaved dogs are also very welcome to join. Canoe on Wales's most untouched river. The River Teifi has some of the most breathtaking otherwise unreachable stretches in Wales, Heritage Canoes has the only commercial contract to take you there. Winding towards the sea the deep, tidal Teifi Gorge is a unique environment where fresh and salt waters meet and the species it is home to forms one of the most varied aquatic landscapes in the country. The gorge itself was hewn through a slate hill by a glacier retreating to the Irish Sea at the end of the last ice age. The gorge offers safe, gentle river paddling in open canoes for people of all ages and abilities. With the river flowing lazily past ancient woodland and wildlife habitats, a canoe trip should be high on your list of must-do’s on your holiday. The Teifi gorge is one of the best examples of tidal gorge in the whole country and offers a safe and awe inspiring location for your whole family to try a fun new sport. The steep, densely wooded banks form an important habitat to species of otter, red deer. Peregrine falcon, kingfishers, dragonflies, salmon and sewin (sea trout. The gorge has been an important centre of coracle fishing and slate quarrying for hundreds of years but now the gorge forms part of the Teifi marshes nature reserve. Our Open Canoe trips are fully guided journeys, using canoes which seat 2 or 3 people. Trips last around 2 hours and include all equipment and instruction. Canoeing in the gorge is a stunning adventure in the silent and untouched Teifi gorge. The river is very slow, flat water for most of the journey and there are a set of gentle rapids which you can run at the end of the trip. Expect to see native wildlife including kingfishers, rare dragonflies and if you’re really lucky an otter!

6. Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park

Named for its spectacular views across to Cardigan Island just 200 metres offshore, this unique Farm Park which also overlooks the Teifi estuary and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, is located on a picturesque headland in the southern part of Cardigan Bay. The island itself is a private nature reserve owned by The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. Opened in 1993, the Farm Park is situated on part of our farm, Clyn-yr-Ynys. Our family has farmed here over 5 generations and counting, and we are very much a family run business. Come and say hello to our farm animals; enjoy our fenced clifftop walk to the headland from where you can watch the seals that breed in the caves below the Farm Park cliffs or spot our frequent dolphin visitors; browse in our gift shop, with a selection of toys and books as well as local and Welsh crafts; children will enjoy our indoor and outdoor play areas; have a bite to eat in our café and enjoy the scenery; or stay a little longer at our campsite.

Came here as a gang of 7 whilst on holiday at a nearby Haven site. We came because all my 3 year old little boy wanted to do was to stroke a sheep...but we’re so glad we visited! Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park is a beautiful place to visit, with lots of animals like sheep, ponies, llamas, pigs, chickens and rabbits to feed, as well as a beautiful cliff top location to watch the seals below (which obviously isn’t always guaranteed but we were lucky enough to see lots!). There are beautiful spots ideal for picnics too, although toilets are at the very entrance so it can possibly mean a dash (like in our case of our 3 year old again...) but the place is so lovely it didn’t matter. Besides, building another building would ruin the scenery etc of the island, and it is truly unspoilt and as nature intended. Many places to take fab photos so don’t forget your camera! This is a place to visit that weather permitting could easily last for the whole day. The ground, as to be expected, is very bumpy, but we managed with our double pushchair. I imagine it to be very difficult for wheelchair users though. There is a lovely park and cafe at the end, which all my children enjoyed. And we also met the not quite resident cat, George, which my children wanted to take home!! Wonderful day, thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely come back again!

Nice beach that is dog friendly on one half. Can walk to this beach along the coastal path from Aberporth. Excellent views from the path with some interesting old railway carriages turned into homes /holiday homes along the way. Note there is very limited parking at the beach.
