The Cei Bach circular walk
A
relaxing 1.5 mile walk, this section of the coastal path starts near
the Cei Bach Country Club and offers some fine views of New Quay and
Llanina Point. The photos on this walk were taken on an afternoon in mid
November. This walk is best taken when the tide is low enough to
return along the beach. Click on the photo for more information.
The
Cwmtydu circular coastal walk
Organised
by Ceredigion County Council and led by David Thomas, author
of several books on Dylan Thomas and New Quay, the walkers met in the
car park of the Crown Inn at Llwyndafydd. This pub, now a renowned
local restaurant also, was once the meeting place of the Cilie poets -
children and grand children of Jeremiah and Mary Jones.
This walk takes in a section of
the coastal path from Cwm Tydu to Cwm Soden.

'Cors Caron' - Tregaron Bog
Tregaron Bog is one of the few remaining examples of a raised
peat bog in Britain. Lying beside the river Teifi just above the
small market town of Tregaron on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains,
there is now an excellent walk through the heart of the Bog on a
timber decked walkway. Click on the photo for more
information.
'Quite Early One
Morning' -
The New Quay circular cliff walk.
There is an excellent walk from the
centre of New Quay immortalised in the Dylan Thomas poem 'Quite early
one morning'. It takes the visitor high above the town where the sounds
of the community can be heard from a considerable distance.
From the Tourist Office on
the sea front,
walk up Church Street as far as the Indian Restaurant and then turn right in
to Albion Terrace. When you come to a cross roads, continue
straight across into Lewis Terrace.

The Dylan Thomas Trail
in New Quay
The Author David Thomas,
in his recently published book 'Dylan Thomas, A Farm, Two Mansions
and a Bungalow', has put together a convincing case that New Quay is
the inspiration of Thomas's Llareggub (read it backwards!).
Details of the 'Dylan trail' in his book 'The Dylan Thomas
Trail' ( Published by Y Lolfa Cyf, Talybont, 2002, £6.95)
take the visitor to a number of locations identified as models for
locales in the fictional Llareggub.
Ceredigion Council
provides a leaflet entitled 'Dylan Thomas - New Quay' available from
the New Quay and Aberaeron Tourist Offices (below). Click the
