Cardigan Bay & Surrounding Area
Cardigan
Bay is located in Pembrokeshire – Britain’s Coastal National Park Pembrokeshire,
on the South West tip of Wales, it is a spectacular coastal region, surrounded
on three sides by the sea. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park takes
in the entire coastal strip – the only national park in the UK to be wholly
coastal in nature and for good reason. The coastline is stunning!It's
a spectacular landscape of cliffs, beaches, wooded estuaries and wild
inland hills, a place of sanctuary for wildlife. People have shaped the
landscape over the centuries, leaving their mark in the form of tombs,
castles, monuments, cottages, quarries and quays. Today people and nature
coexist in harmony in this glorious part of Wales. The National Park Authority
looks after the area and helps the public to enjoy, understand it, and
works together with the local communities towards a sustainable future.
New
Quay
New Quay, with its magnificent beaches, is a picturesque and internationally
renowned resort village which was once a prosperous ship building centre
and fishing port. It still retains the charm and history of those days
and is filled with Welsh hospitality waiting for you to discover and cherish.
Another interesting part of the area's history is the great Dylan Thomas
lived here. New Quay is thought to have been Llaregubb, the "cliff-perched
town at the far end of Wales" in Under Milkwood.
