Today we are starting our journey near Cardigan then driving up to Dolgellau, about 130 miles. And yay!.. a sunny day 🙂
Photo of the day
Coastal Road Sheep
Cilgerran
Being welcomed by this gentleman at Cilgerran Castle entrance.
St Dogmaels Abbey
A few minutes down the road we reached the remains of St Dogmaels Abbey. As well as castles, and lighthouses, lots of abbeys on this trip too!
Cardigan
Slightly worrying sign whilst parking near Cardigan.The Welsh love their colourfully painted houses, this was on a side street behind the castle. And yes, we did wear cardigans in Cardigan.
Aberporth
We enjoyed a picnic, with great views overlooking Aberporth bay.
Penbryn
A curious telephone at Penbryn Beach.And families enjoying the golden sands at Penbryn Beach, protected by the National Trust. Free parking at the top of the hill if you are National Trust member.Again colourful Welsh houses at New Quay, we missed the turning for the town, so stopped further along the coast at Llanina Woods. A muddy car park, with short walk through the woods to the pebbly and sandy beach.
Llanerchaeron
Making the most of our National Trust membership, driving slightly inland to visit the Llanerchaeron Estate. Understated interior and beautiful gardens.A little potter around the gardens...and time for coffee.
Aberaeron
Then back to the coast to the colourful harbour houses of Aberaeron.

On the road again…
Aberystwyth
The remains of Aberystwyth Castle on the sea front. Aberystwyth was grander than we had expected with its long promenade.
Aberdyfi
Views from Aberdyfi across the calm evening waters of the Dyfi estuary to Ynyslas.
Tywyn
Jarno checking out the view from Tywyn promenade.
Bryncrug
Woolly street art over the bridge at Bryncrug.The view over houses and woodland to Snowdonia.

Wow, really great so far Julian and Jarno. Great advertising for the regions 🙂
Besides the nice views and towns, not seen any nice house yet?
And very nice shots also, nice compositions. Loking forward to see the other 40+ days.
Cheers Henry! Thanks for your support ! We just got a new camera yesterday, so hopefully better shots to come too..
Amazing images!!! Am curious where you will eventually end up after this road trip ;o)
Thank you! So are we… But we already found some places we like…
Loved this!!!!
Thank you, and we are loving too…
Interesting mix of mug and China saucer!
Bet you’re glad you remembered your national trust card else all those beach carparks would have cost you a fortune !
haha! Exactly… a great buy! BTW – Most of the National Trust car parks now require you to scan your membership card too (the old screen sticker is no longer valid).
