What a find this turned out to be. Did two of the three walks & then explored the churchyard adjacent to the car park. It was a pity the church was locked. Particularly enjoyed the waterfall & the Chain Bridge & would love a week’s stay in Pwll Pendre.

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.

My Partner and I visited today for a 1 hr novice experience. Wow. What a great experience it was. Tim & Sam were so welcoming and it was just us two on a trek out with Sam in some stunning surroundings. It was so relaxed. I’d highly recommend this riding school and we will certainly be back for more. Thanks so much for a great afternoon.

Bwlch y Geuffordd Gardens in Bronant is an ideal place to visit . Featured in the last series of “Pobl a’u Gerddi”, and also featured in ITV's Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh, aired March 2020. Joint runner up of Gardeners World “Garden of the Year” competition, category “Challenging Plot”. There is something here for everyone. The garden is open daily, and is an adventure and fantasy garden for children (and adults). It is also a water garden, sculpture park, sumptuous flower garden, and so much more. Although the individual gardens differ widely in character, they still hang together as a delicious whole. It is peaceful, inspiring and colourful, wacky and wonderful, full of surprises, and a great day out for all the family.

This is a ‘must do’ visit if you’re anywhere near Aberystwyth. It was a Victorian Theatre in its early life but now an excellent museum has been created. We spent Two hours looking around which was interesting and thought provoking. There is an excellent cafe serving morning coffee and lunch time snacks. A truly worthwhile visit if in the area........
7. Vale of Rheidol Railway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,157 reviews
Travelling on the Vale of Rheidol Railway is the finest way to see the stunning Rheidol Valley. We pass through wide open fields,woodland and rugged mountain scenery as the line twists and turns clinging to the hillside gradually climbing nearly 700ft (200m)from Aberystwyth to reach our destination at Devil’s Bridge. Birds of prey such as Red Kite and Buzzards are regularly seensoaring high above the valley floor and breathtaking views can beenjoyed by all.

Saturday 7th September 2019. Family of 5 (ages 21 to 64). We walked here from Aberaeron - starting at a car park near the Leisure Centre. It's a nice flat walk. The house is a small manor house set in lovely grounds with a pleasant flat walk around the nearby lake. The house itself is fascinating to walk around (by yourself) with National Trust staff strategically placed to answer questions and impart loads of interesting information on the house. It's also of a size where you can do it justice rather than race from room to room. Highly recommended for a visit. We spent about 2 hours there (including the stroll around the lake). Contis cafe, on the site, serves a decent home cooked lunch too.

On our way back from a disappointing trip to Aberystwyth we saw the signs and pulled in not knowing what we would find. Well let me just say you will not be disappointed here. The facility offers walking trails, bridleways, mountain biking trails, picnic areas, children's play area, disabled trails, breathtaking views, a gift shop, a cafe, and Red Kite Feeding!!!. For a fee of £1.50 for up to two hours or £3 for over this, you get the most amazing day out. We arrived at 2pm to discover that Red Kite Feeding took place at 3pm (2pm in winter months). We strolled around the lovely lake reading all the interactive information boards finding out facts about Red Kites and looking at the stunning views. Red Kites were flying around overhead clearly awaiting the feeding. We found the viewing area beside the lake and took a seat . The Kites knowing the time appeared from out of the trees vast swaths of them. A chap appeared from the opposite side of the lake and threw out meat. The Kites soared and danced in the air, swooping down in a magical airial display. It was a truly amazing sight. When it was over they flew back to the trees leaving a few to dive and swoop across the lake. We were entranced by the whole experience. Words can't describe it. We then headed to the cafe, which was fantastic. Homemade coffee and walnut cake cut into great wedges, delicious pulled pork crusty rolls and all at such reasonable prices. Plenty of seating inside and out, outside offering amazing views of the lake and wild birds feeding from bird feeders close by. And, lovely clean toilets!!!!! We rated this attraction number one, and came back a second time during our stay in Wales, travelling 50 minutes to do so. A fantastic day out for all ages. Well done to everyone involved, this shows how conservation and tourism can work hand in hand.
10. Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 517 reviews
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!
