Cardigan River and Food Festival
Coracle racing on the Teifi and a quayside food market in this old Ceredigion port town.
A punchy, proudly Welsh market town that has reinvented itself around artisan food, a Michelin-recognised restaurant, a restored Grade I castle and a well-stocked arts scene, making the long drive from anywhere feel thoroughly earned.
