Cardigan Festival of Walking

Walks around the Teifi Valley Cardigan Bay Coastal Paths & Preseli Hills
Cardigan and its surrounding countryside is an unspoilet and largely
undiscovered area of outstanding natural beauty.
There are dramatic cliff-top paths with views of extraordinary rock formations
and stunning wildlife, tranquil walks in deeply wooded valleys and challenging
climbs in the Preseli hills.
The walks explore these main areas:
- the
Coast
the River Teifi
the Preseli Hills
the Hinterland around Cardigan
Teifi Valley
This is an area of great beauty and variety with several outstanding features including:
Coastal Paths
To the south, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is famous for its unique views, rock formations and seals, whilst to the north there is a lesser known but equally beautiful Ceredigion Marine Heritage Coastline and Cerdigion Coast Path. Coastal walks in this area afford the chance to see regular sightings of dolphins, the picturesque Mwnt church and the dramatic cliff paths at Llangrannog.
Preseli Hills
Home of the famous Preseli Bluestones used for Stonehenge with its open moorland, Neolithic monuments and sweeping sea views this area is a serious walker's paradise.
