Ceredigion 40 Coast and Country Walks Pocket Guidebook

by: Julian Rollins
On the wild-west coast of Wales, Ceredigion is famed for its glorious sandy beaches, dramatic sea cliffs and caves, spectacular sunsets and a wonderful array of wildlife, including the largest colony of bottlenose dolphins in Europe. Away from the sea, rolling farmland, fertile river valleys and characterful market towns give way to the brooding Cambrian Mountains, the main watershed of Wales.

As one of the least populated regions of Wales, there is plenty of room to ramble in Ceredigion, and among the walks in this guide are established favourites as well as many lesser known gems. The little pocket book is produced in full colour with illustrations and each walk laid out on a two-page spread. Distance, time and terrain are provided together with a short introduction to the walk, followed by route finding directions and a coloured sketch map. It would be advisable to also carry the appropriate OS Explorer map and map references are provided for each walk. The walk locations are:
