New Quay: the Dylan Thomas trail
Spincat Says: Dylan Thomas only lived in New Quay between 1944-45, but the town makes much of this year in his life. 'The Dylan Thomas New Quay Trail' takes you through some of the places in the town associated with him, including, of course, a good many pubs. The town is said to be the...
Cardigan bay - legends of a sunken land
Spincat Says: The lovely bay sweeps for over 40 miles - a wild place, not over-developed by tourism.There is a local story of a an land lost to sea: land now under the waters of the bay. The story of the 'Sunken Hundred'. They say you can hear the church bells of a lost village ringing...
What is there to do in Cardigan?
Spincat Says: Cardigan is a friendly town on the Teifi estuary, full of attractive Georgian and Victorian buildings; there is a lot to see including this otter statue, the river and..umm.. a castle mound dating back to C11th. (OK, Ok, maybe that should be 'quite a lot to see'!) There's a...
Spincat Says: A very early and very happy memory is of beach. A kind platonic ideal of how a beach should be - soft demerara sand, rock pools with bright coloured creatures, really salty sea and energetic strips of seaweed twining round my legs. It is named after the River Saith that...
"Under the Thatch": Stay in a Romany caravan
Spincat Says: This charming vardo (Romany caravan) with accompanying cabin, is available to rent all year round from the amazing Under the Thatch company They restores old cottages and unusual buildings in an imaginative and clever way - clever, because they make these places comfortable...
Krumlovgirl Says: We had a cream tea at the Castle Café and aside from being very reasonably priced, it was also extremely good. For 1.95 GBP I got two scones piled high with strawberry jam and cream and a pot of tea for 1. It took both of us to eat my scones. The dining area is small and...
Krumlovgirl Says: The Wishing Well Restaurant is located within the Rhyd Country House B & B. Please read my review on it for a more detailed look. We were first taken into the parlor, where we were given a menu and were able to order drinks. For a three course menu the price was 25 GBP per...
The Teifi Blu (Cardigan): A sinking ship!
ashie1 Says: Our meal was of a very poor standard. The soup was watery and had little substance and the main dishes were minimal with a king prawn dish for four persons consisting of one prawn!. There were no hot plates and the dishes were cold which contributed to the food being served...
Ivy Bush: 'Cheeky Vimto' in Newcastle Emlyn
Spincat Says: What is a Cheeky Vimto?Well, to understand that you have to know who Charlotte Church is - I'd be interested to know if her fame has spread round the world!I hate the cult of the celebrity but if there's an article anywhere about Charlotte Church I can't pass it by. And she...
Somerfield: Somerfield supermarket, Cardigan
Spincat Says: As we were 'going back to nature' by staying in the vardo, I was determined that we were going to eat the 'Produce of the Land and Sea'. I read that there were restaurants serving simple local seafood, shops specialising in organic produce, local sheep cheese, a Honey Farm...
A short trip to the Preselli Hills
Spincat Says: This makes for a good excursion (about 30-40 minutes by car) from the Cardigan area. On a wet, scrappy November day the hills looked a strange russett colour with indigo views. The bluestones of Stonehenge come from here: they are thought to have been hewn from the tor of...
illumina Says: Hillforts occur in great numbers in West Wales. These are often smaller than the great hillforts of southern England, but there are many more of them. The best-known, and the most extensively excavated, is Castell Henllys, where Harold Mytum has not only excavated most of...

Along with other small towns on the Irish sea such as Aberystwyth, Aberaeron, and Newquay, Cardigan warrants a visit if for nothing other than another glimpse at a pretty little, Welsh speaking...
