Penbryn Beach Cardigan Bay
Photo Penbryn Beach Cardigan Bay - Janet Baxter
Penbryn is owned by the National Trust. The beach is almost a mile in length.
There is a turning circle and dropping off point at the beach edge for disabled
visitors, which should be kept clear for any emergency vehicles. Penbryn is
about 9 miles north of Cardigan. There is a car park on Llanborth Farm as you
arrive, some 400 metres from the beach. The National Trust charge
a small fee for parking.
There's also a cafe and shop here. The walk down to
the beach is either on the lane, or follow the footpath signs from the
back of the car park [behind the cafe] which takes you into a beautiful
wooded valley, full of wood anenomes in the spring. This shady path suddenly
opens up to the wide expanse of the beach and the sound of the waves, a
lovely approach to the beach.
The walk from Penbryn to Llangrannog takes you along some of the most beautiful stretches of the Cardigan Bay coast, past Morfa Cove and ending up in the holiday village of Llangrannog.
