We began our March 2024 trip to Ceredigion with a relatively short jaunt from Aberystwyth to Borth. This is a lovely seven-miler which starts with a wander around Aberystwyth's coastline, past South Beach, Aberystwyth Castle, Aberystwyth Pier and North Beach, before affording stunning views of the town from Constitution Hill. The remainder of the walk takes you along coastal paths past Clarach Bay and Wallog Beach, before heading into Borth.

The final walk of our February 2024 trip to Ceredigion took us from Llanrhystud to Aberystwyth – or, rather, from Aberystwyth to Llanrhystud. The toughest part of the walk is the steep ascent up Allt Wen, which did benefit from lovely views of Aberystwyth. The remainder of the walk is relatively flat, with lovely coastal views and some gentle ups and downs as you come into Llanrhystud.

Despite the rain and slippery, muddy sections, the walk from New Quay to Llanrhystud (or, as we walked, from Llanrhystud) is a relatively flat, scenic and enjoyable section of the Ceredigion Coast Path, passing Llan-non, Aberarth and Aberaeron, and finishing with a walk along Cei Bach Beach to pretty New Quay.

Just over four years after beginning our Wales Coast Path walk, we finally made it to the official midpoint of the path! The walk from Aberporth to New Quay is beautiful, but with quite a few ups and downs, passing the waterfall at Tresaith, Penbryn Beach, Llangrannog, Ynys Lochtyn and Cymtydu, before reaching the official centre of the Wales Coast Path at New Quay.

Having reached the end of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in August 2023, after a five-month break, we took to the Wales Coast Path for our first walks of 2024 during February half term. This walk took us along the River Teifi to the Ceredigion coast, past Cardigan Island and Mwnt, and on to Aberporth Beach.
