Location

Tregaron is an ideal place to stay for people who enjoy, cycling, walking, bird-watching and fishing as well as being a central location for the many historic sites and attractions that West Wales has to offer. A small market town, Tregaron lies 17 miles south of Aberystwyth, 12 miles east of the seaside town of Aberaeron and 12 miles north of Lampeter. Tregaron nestles in the foothills of the Cambrian mountains near the mountainous source of the river Teifi. To the east of Tregaron stretch mile after mile of heathered hills, some of the last great unspoiled areas of Wales. To the north is Cors Caron or Tregaron Bog, a huge red-tinted marshland. A National Nature Reserve, Cors Caron is famous for the variety of wildlife and birds to be spotted there.

Things to See & Do Locally

Market town of Tregaron at the foot of the Cambrian Mountains in the heart of the upper reaches of the Teifi valley, 10 miles north of the University town of Lampeter and 17 miles from the coastal resort, administrative centre and university town of Aberystwyth on Cardigan Bay.

Although not far from the boundaries with the old counties of Brecknockshire and Radnorshire this area of Ceredigion remains the county's greatest bastion of the Welsh Language.

The Town lies at the confluence of two rivers which flow through Cors Caron or Tregaron Bog, a marshland of international scientific interest which borders on the town. This is mountainous country offering striking views.

A few miles to the north of the town beyond the village of Pontrhydfendigaid the river Teifi rises and begins the journey to its estuary at Cardigan from the Teifi Pools, six adjacent lakes some of which are dammed. A few miles beyond these to the north east lies the Elan valley reservoir complex.

Other places of interest include the village of Llanddewi Brefi and Strata Florida. Legend has it that the ground rose up to allow David, patron saint of Wales, to address the congregation in Llanddewi Brefi. The resultant mound can be seen to this day and the parish church is built upon it. Strata Florida abbey fell victim to the Dissolution. It survives in ruins and is reputed to be the burial place of Dafydd ap Gwilym, the most notable of the Welsh strict metre poets of the Middle Ages. Dafydd has become a subject of international scholarship and his work ranks with the finest examples of courtly love poetry of the period.
