Cardigan

Information on Cardigan

Cardigan lies on the tidal reach of the River Teifi at the point where Ceredigion meets Pembrokeshire. It is a Welsh language-speaking community. Cardigan evokes the feel of an old fashioned Welsh market town but it has everything: ancient history, modern comforts, beautiful landscapes, and the sea just in reach.

Cardigan is peppered with vintage and antique shops alongside supermarkets, town centre shops and several trading estates.

 

Not only a busy market town it is also the home of a mediaeval castle. The town was developed around the Norman castle which was built in the late 11th century and reputed to be the location of the first National Eisteddfod in Wales in 1176. In 2014 the castle and house underwent restoration and is now open to the public. There is luxury accommodation, a heritage centre with education facilities, a restaurant, an events and open-air concert area.

 

The town has a hospital, college, modern arts centre (with three-screen cinema), theatre and recently refurbished 19th century Guildhall housing market stalls. Theatr Mwldan is a brilliant arts, theatre and production venue, and Wales’ only completely independent multiplex cinema.

The area around Cardigan is worth visiting for its beautiful views and nature reserves with both the Welsh Wildlife Centre and Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve to be found close by.

 

Barley Saturday, a unique agricultural event in Cardigan which is held in April, has been held in the town since the 19th century. After judging the various horse competitions the horses are paraded through the town followed by vintage tractors, cars and motorbikes.

 

 

Not far away is the long stretch of Poppit Sands beach. A short drive on the other side of the river Teifi lies the magnificent ruined St Dogmael's Abbey. Next door to it sits the Coach House, with an interactive abbey museum, and collection of ancient Christian stones. There's a great café here too. On Tuesday mornings, there’s also an award-winning weekly produce market here, selling local wines, wood crafts and charcuterie.

The River Teifi flows down to the coast at Cardigan running through the bridge at the castle. The River Teifi is a fly-fisherman’s paradise, rich in salmon and wild trout. In autumn, salmon can be spotted leaping at nearby Cenarth Falls by the Old Mill. The lower stretches of the river around Cilgerran are perfect for paddle boarding.

Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi, which is sited in the town, is a bilingual mixed comprehensive for 11-18 year olds. Ysgol Gynradd Aberteifi, also sited within the town, provides bilingual education for 3-11 year olds
