Ceredigion has managed to keep infection rates low throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Play your part to keep infection rates as low as possible:

  • Check the current guidelines for Wales before you travel.
  • Continue to maintain social distances.
  • Wash your hands regularly, and use sanitisers too.
  • If you or anyone in your group shows symptoms of the coronavirus, you should follow current advice and endeavour to return to your primary residence as soon as possible.
  • If you're planning an outdoor excursion along the coast or into the hills:
  • Plan for all weather conditions eg raincoat and sunglasses/sunhat.
  • Don't be a lobster! Remember the 4 Ss: 
     - Sunscreen
     - Sun hat
     - Sunglasses
     - Shade
  • Wear sensible and appropriate footwear for the weather and terrain.
  • Familiarise yourself with the RNLI's advice on tides and rip currents.
  • Follow Adventure Smart Wales guidelines.
  • Follow the Countryside Code
  • Explore and enjoy what is local to where you are staying.
  • Discover and support local businesses.
  • Avoid any unnecessary travel. 
  • Help keep the environment healthy, beautiful and open for recreation, reflection and revitalisation. 
  • Keep dogs under control, ideally on a lead; stick and flick where appropriate or scoop poop and bin it.
  • Dispose of waste properly: use the appropriate bins provided. If they’re full, take the waste away to dispose of it at home. Don’t leave it for someone else to clear up.
  • Take time to enjoy our natural environment and wildlife, but keep a respectful distance from animals and their young. 
  • Do not approach groups of birds resting on the sea.
  • Keep a respectful distance from seals, especially on nursery beaches and coastal caves during the pupping season. 
  • Keep a respectful distance from dolphins and other marine mammals - never follow or chase them - let them come to you, if they wish, when they feel safe and unthreatened. 
  • Follow the Countryside Code.
  • We’re all only just beginning to get used to the ‘new normal’.
  • Explore with an open mind and stay safe, do what you can to protect yourself and your host community.
  • Respect what is of value to host communities including the Welsh language, local culture, animals and the environment - our coast and countryside is a place of work for farmers, fishermen and others.
  • Use designated parking, don’t block access for others, including emergency services.
  • When it's busy, please be patient.
  • Whenever possible, book ahead. If you can't make it for any reason - let the attraction, restaurant or event organiser know, so that your slot can be allocated to someone else who's waiting. 
  • Holidays and days out are a time to relax and enjoy, so let’s chill!
