New Quay
- 'Cei Newydd', with Its picturesque houses, pubs and
restaurants clings to the sides of the hills rising above
the blue waters of Cardigan Bay on the coast of West Wales.
The town was once important for shipbuilding
with wooden boats being built on the local beaches (see:
New Quay's history).
The sheltered harbour and
safe beaches -
the focus of activity in the summer when New Quay
becomes a bustling and vibrant holiday resort where sailing,
fishing, water sports
and relaxation, are among the main attractions.

believe that New Quay is the 'cliff-perched town at the far
end of Wales' immortalised by Dylan Thomas (see

) in 'Under Milk Wood'. Dylan
Thomas lived in New Quay in 1944 in a little house
called 'Majoda' atop the cliffs opposite the town. The
Dylan Thomas Trail in New Quay takes the visitor to many
of the places either frequented by Thomas or believed to be
mentioned in 'Under Milk Wood'. Click

The History of New Quay
- In the early days New Quay was a fishing and smuggling
port. Later a thriving shipbuilding industry developed,
reaching its peak in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Towards the end of that century shipbuilding died out,
railways came to West Wales and tourism became the main
industry. Click on the photo for more about New Quay's
