The Ceredigion Coast Path
Ceredigion's 60 miles (96km) Coast Path is a very special part of the Wales Coast Path, with probably the most varied landscape and terrain of the 870 mile (1400km) route. As well as great views north towards Snowdonia and south towards Pembrokeshire, the Ceredigion Coast path has a wealth of wildlife, geological and archaeological features and a colourful history to discover along the way.
Coast path guided and circular walks
Walking in company, with a guide, is a great way to get to know people and places. The Ceredigion Coast and Countryside Rights of Way team are leading a series of guided walks linking to the Coast Path. Details and dates for 2025 to be confirmed.
Walking in the Cambrian Mountains
The Cambrian Mountains has a range of walking trails, exploring woods and waterfalls, and the ancient routes of medieval monks, the paths taken by romantic 19th century writers and poets in search of adventure, and the tracks of the hardworking drovers and miners. Find quiet solitude on some of Ceredigion’s more challenging walks, and view the peaks of Snowdonia and the Beacons of south Wales from a different perspective - from the summit of Pumlumon.
Walk to the summit of Pumlumon (Plynlimon)
Scale the heights of Pumlumon, the highest point in Ceredigion, and discover the lakes and streams that are the source of mighty rivers and enjoy uninterrupted views of the mountain ranges of Wales and Ceredigion's inland landscapes.
Spirit of the Miners walks
Explore Ceredigion's mining heritage with the Spirit of the Miners walks from the Cardigan Bay coast to the valleys of the Cambrian Mountains. The route, also known as the Mal Evans Way, links Borth, Talybont, Bwlch Nant yr Arian, Devil's Bridge and Pontrhydfendigaid. Circular routes explore individual areas in more detail.
