A walking holiday along Ceredigion's portion of the Wales Coast Path, from Machynlleth to St Dogmaels.
From £378 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 views over the sea and ahead to Snowdonia, 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.
Looking to complete the full Wales Coast Path? The Ceredigion Coast Path connects to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in the south and the Meirionnydd Coast Path to the north.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
From £516 per person
The southern section of the Ceredigion Coast Path borders Cardigan Bay throughout its 41-mile journey, and crosses low-level cliffs with few of the stiff ascents of the northern half.
From this part of the trail, grey seals can often be spotted down in the caves that pock the rock face. Broad beaches frequently bring you close to the waves, while the extensive walls and arches of the ruined St Dogmaels Abbey provide an atmospheric glimpse back through history.
