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 on the photo for more information.

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.

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.

Tregaron Bog is one of the few remaining examples of a raised peat bog in Britain. Lying beside the river Teifi just above the small market town of Tregaron on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, there is now an excellent walk through the heart of the Bog on a timber decked walkway.  Click on the photo for more information.

This walk is based on the walk in David Thomas' book, 'The Dylan Thomas Trail'. Starting at Llwyndafydd, it follows the river Dewi down to Cwm Tydu. It then follows the coastal path as far as the 'secret beach' Traeth Soden and then goes inland past Nanternis Mill and back to Llwyndafydd.  Click on the photo for more information.

The Town Trail was opened in 2007 and celebrates the bicentennial of the Act of Parliament that allowed the building of the harbour by the Rev Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne. The architect William Haycock was employed by Colonel Alban Gwynne, son of the Rev Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne to design the layout of the town around Alban Square.
