Aberaeron is a colourful little town located on the Cardigan Bay coastline in West Wales. A  popular harbour and holiday resort it is also earning a reputation among seafood gourmets. There are a number of restaurants to be found close to the picturesque harbour including the Hive on the Harbour and the Harbour Restaurant.
While driving along the busy B496 coast road one can't help but notice the colourful Georgian terraced houses of Aberaeron, such a pleasant change from some of the drab grey roofed and pebble dashed houses to be found in some parts of Wales. So stop a while in this bustling little town, it's well a worth a visit.
Located some 6 miles, 10km, north of New Quay and 13 miles, 20km, south of Aberystwyth it's a great base for walking the Ceredigion Coastal Path. A short walk around the town itself reveals row after row of well proportioned Georgian terraced houses -  with it seems a Pub for every street. I should own a paint shop in Aberaeron as the pubs compete with the houses to be the brightest and most colourful house in town.

And with all these Pubs it's no surprise that Aberaeron was a favourite haunt of that great Welsh poet and equally great Welsh boozer, Dylan Thomas. Information boards around the town describe the route of the Aberaeron Dylan Thomas Trail, probably more of a Pub crawl than a walk!

But the Ceredigion Coastal Path is the jewel in the crown for walkers who visit the Cardigan Bay coast of Wales. Stretching 32 miles, 50km, from Aberystwyth in the north to Cardigan in the south Aberaeron is ideally placed for this and many other Welsh activity holidays.

Cyclists will enjoy the 4km designated cycle path that follows the River Aeron from the harbour up the Vale of Aeron to the historic National trust property at Llanerchaeron.
