Cei Bach circular walk
A relaxing 1.5
mile walk, this section of the coastal path starts near the Cei Bach
Country Club and offers some fine views of New Quay and Llanina Point.
These photos were taken on an afternoon in mid November. This walk is
best taken when the tide is low enough to return along the beach. Click

The Dylan Thomas Trail in New Quay
The Author David
Thomas, in his recently published book 'Dylan Thomas, A Farm, Two
Mansions and a Bungalow', has put together a convincing case that New
Quay is the inspiration of Thomas's Llareggub (read it
backwards!). Details of the 'Dylan trail' in his book 'The
Dylan Thomas Trail' take the visitor to a number of locations
identified as models for locales in the fictional Llareggub. Click

The New Quay Cliff Walk
There is an
excellent walk from the centre of New Quay immortalised in
the Dylan Thomas poem 'Quite early one morning'. It takes the visitor
high above the town where the sounds of the community can be
heard from a considerable distance. Turning back inland at the
coastguard lookout, this walk takes you to a local pub for a well
deserved refreshment. Click on the photo for more
information.
