Today we are starting our journey near Cardigan then driving up to Dolgellau, about 130 miles. And yay!.. a sunny 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.
