Cardigan
Island Farm Park (Gwbert-on-Sea) – The Farm Park is located on
the point where the Teifi River meets the sea, and Cardigan Island
is in
the distance. Stand on the cliffs (safely fenced in) to look for
gray seals
and you might catch a glimpse of bottlenose dolphins. Farm park
also has
Shetland ponies, pigs and usual breeds of cattle. |

Cilgerran
Castle (Cilgerran) – Although this 13th century castle is
considerably
crumbled, the location on the cliff above the River Teifi is
stunning. This
castle was built to guard the entrance to the river and control
sea going
ships as they passed by. Cilgerran Castle has a long and
tumultuous history,
as it was taken and lost alternately by the Welsh and English, and
a romantic
legend of Nest, the wife of a Norman noble who ran off with a
Welsh prince. |

Museum
of the Welsh Woolen Industry (Dre-fach Felindre, near Newcastle
