A walking holiday along Ceredigion's portion of the Wales Coast Path, from Machynlleth to St Dogmaels.
From £370 per person
Bottle-nosed dolphins and grey seals are common sights on this shoreline and clifftop walk along the Ceredigion coastline. Sweeping from Machynlleth on woodland tracks and farmland pathways bordering the Dyfi, the Ceredigion Coast Path takes in far-reaching views of the Tarren Hills before joining the coastline and striking south around Cardigan Bay.
Undulating, high-level sections of the walk promise gorgeous seaside views, while miles of beach walking let you get right down to the surf. This is a particularly vibrant and friendly section of the Wales Coast Path, too, as it wends between welcoming coastal towns such as Aberystwyth, Llanrhystud, and Aberaeron.
From £735 per person
Book your walking holiday along the full Ceredigion Coast Path. This holiday option takes in the whole Ceredigion coastline, from Machynlleth to St Dogmaels, through 73 miles of stunning landscapes. Let woodland tracks draw you from Machynlleth to the undulating Ceredigion coastline, bordering Cardigan Bay, before meandering along imposing clifftops and sandy beaches on this leg of the Wales Coast Path.
With a variety of wildlife to spot, views to admire and coastal towns to explore, the Ceredigion Coast Path offers plenty of attractions to engage walkers of all tastes and interests.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation in most cases; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard if practical. A very limited number of stops will require you to travel on foot up to two miles off the trail, however these instances will be clearly communicated to you if applicable.
Further transfers may also be required due to some accommodations having a two-night minimum booking policy, especially at weekends.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
You can add rest days at any of the overnight stops:
Exploring the coastline of Cardigan Bay, which boasts the highest number of dolphin sightings in the UK.
Visiting the remains of St Dogmaels Abbey, founded in 1120 by Tironian monks, and Cardigan’s 12th century castle.
Discovering secluded coves and gorgeous sandy beaches, such as Cwmtydu and Tresaith.
