Cardigan sits on the mouth of the river Teifi, between the county of Pembrokeshire to the south and Cardigan Bay and the county of Ceredigion to the north. With a population of around 4000 Cardigan is a thriving market town and host to a number of popular festivals each year.
The High Street still retains much of its Victorian character. Held in the town every June is the Gwyl Fawr, the town’s own Eisteddfod, the Welsh music and language festival. This is a nod towards Cardigan holding the first ever Eisteddfod centuries ago in 1176. The town sits in an ideal position for walkers, being midway between the Pembokeshire coastal Path and the Ceredigion Coastal Path.
