The Ceredigion Coast Path stretches from Cardigan to Ynys-las along a coastline famous for its wild beauty. It is an amazingly diverse landscape of sweeping sandy beaches, dunes, rock pools, waterfalls, rugged cliffs and pretty villages steeped in history. The wildlife along the Ceredigion Coast Path is just as special. Sea birds commonly seen include herring gulls, lesser black-backed gulls, oystercatchers, ringed plovers, redshank, guillemot, razorbill, kittewakes, fulmars, shags and cormorants. Grey seals may often be spotted basking on rocks and bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise are frequently seen close inshore. In summer, the cliff-tops are at their most colourful. Plant life includes thrift, sea campion, common scurvy-grass, sea mayweed, vetch and the sea plantain. There is also much of historic interest along the trail including Iron Age hillforts, medieval churches, early Christian standing stones, medieval castles, medieval fish-traps and lime-kilns.

Highlights of the trail include the amazing views of the Pembrokeshire coast, Cardigan Bay and the mountains of Snowdonia; the seabirds, butterflies and wildflowers; the pretty settlements of Llangrannog, Aberaeron and Aber-arth; and the fantastically contorted strata of the cliff faces.
