The Ceredigion 60 mile section of the Coast Path is a very special part of the Wales Coast Path. It probably has the most varied landscape and terrain of the 870 miles around the Country . There are fabulous views north towards Snowdonia and south towards Pembrokeshire. The Ceredigion section also has a wealth of wildlife, geological and archaeological features and a colourful history to discover along it. The Bay has an abundance of wildlife, both on shore and at sea.
New Quay is at the centre of the Ceredigion Coast Path.
