Ceredigion Guide
Naturesbase Holidays
Our campsite is a little different to most campsites in the UK, 10 pitches set in 9 acres of organic flower rich meadows, surrounded by native trees, with buzzards and kites overhead on the edge of a village.

Ceredigion got it's name from Prince Ceredig, the son of the leader who reclaimed this area for the Welsh from the Irish invaders. This part of the country still retains with strong Welsh roots and language. Geographically, it consists of two different but equally scenic areas, the Cardigan coast and the countryside.

Cardigan is a very busy market town, serving a large agricultural community. It's long main street is lined with shops. It has 900 years of recorded history and boasts that it is the site of the first National Eisteddfod, held in back in 1176. It was once the second most important port in Wales.

Beyond Lampeter, the south eastern and southern border is defined by the river Teifi which flows south from the Cambrian Mountains, passing Tregaron and proceeding through Llandysul as it swings west to meet the sea at Cardigan. As a rough guide, travel by car from Borth to Cardigan normally takes no more than some 90 minutes, whilst the most remote inland towns or villages are little more than 30 minutes travel by car to a beach or coastal path. Conversely, wonderful upland scenery, accessible forests and spectacular mountain walks and bike trails are within easy reach of all coastal settlements.

The countryside has beautiful landscapes of mountains, lakes, forests and rivers-many remote and sparsely settled. As a result there are a number of unique habitats that attract rare species of wildlife, plants and birds. Among them is the very rare red kite, a bird of prey considered to be the most agile of all the European birds of prey.

Old routes lead over the mountains and feature views that reach south to the Brecon Beacons and north to Snowdonia. The narrow and twisty mountain road leading from Tregaron to Llanwrtyd traverses part of Ceredigion. Like all of Wales' mountain roads, it should only be driven in clear weather for safety and to take advantage of the view. The scenic Vale of Rheidol road leads to the famous 'Devil's Bridge', 12 miles east of Aberystwyth. At this spot two rivers- the Rheidol and the Mynach, meet. The resulting series of waterfalls are over 300 feet high. Located in a wooded and rocky gorge which are not easily accessible. Three bridges, built one on top of the other, cross the gully.
