Cardigan Castle

Highlight • Castle

Cardigan Castle dates back to the 11th century although it was rebuilt in the 1200s. Overlooking the River Teifi just before it flows into the estuary, the castle underwent significant renovations before being opened to the public in 2015.

The site of a complex and fascinating history, taking a tour here is worth it if you’re interested in history. Within the fortress walls, there's a mansion, built during the 1800s. With kitchen gardens, a cafe and plenty of information to get stuck into, this makes for a lovely stop if you’re in Cardigan. There is an entry fee to access the castle.

Highlight • River

The Iron Bridge is an attractive place to bird watch. Most times you're certain to see ducks, geese and swans, less frequently the sharp-eyed may catch a glimpse of a king fisher in and around the reed beds.

Carreg Coetan Arthur Dolmen

Highlight • Historical Site

Around 5,000 years old, this Neolithic burial chamber is a fantastic example amongst several others in the Nevern Valley. The balanced stone is exceptionally impressive and it’s free to see. Cycling isn't permitted for the last few metres from the road.

Pentre Ifan Dolmen

Highlight • Historical Site

Pentre Ifan is a burial chamber that would originally have been covered with an earthen mound. The giant capstone appears to be precariously balanced on three uprights, but it's fairly solid as it has remained in place for around 5,000 years so far.

Pentre Ifan frames the Preseli Hills, source of Pembrokeshire bluestones that made parts of Stonehenge as well.

There are a couple of racks to stand and secure your bike too in the lay-by car park by the monument entrance.
