Carno House - links to places of interest:

As you can see from the images on this website (more can be seen in this Photo Gallery from PM Studios), this is a beautiful part of the country: rolling hills and dramatic mountains - without the harsh ruggedness of North Wales. You can see why it is attractive to those wanting to 'get away from it all'.

The County Council has a Tourism site which gives more details, including a page for Aberaeron, but below are some of our favourites:

Cors Caron: This is a large flat peat bog to the north of Tregaron. Many birdwatchers come to see the wildlife. A new boardwalk giving a circular route has been built which takes you to a large bird-watching hide.

Devil's Bridge: Here there are 3 bridges built one on top of another. The first was believed to have been built for the monks at the nearby Strata Florida Abbey. The bridges go over a small river which then drops in a series of beautiful water falls.

Rheidol Railway: This is a preserved narrow gauge railway that mostly runs steam trains (in season) from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge. At the right time in spring, the bluebells are spectacular along parts of the route.

Walks and rides: Ceredigion has many footpaths and bridleways. Parts of the course of the old Cambrian Railway have been made into cyclepaths. Much (but not all) of the route from Tregaron to Aberystwyth has been converted. The tourist offices can give full details.

Abbeys: There are two close by. Strata Florida about 20 miles to the north-east and Talley about 20 miles to the south-east. Although both are ruins, Talley still has some high arches, but Strata Florida has the 'visitor centre'.

Ceredigion Coast: This is an interesting coastline with many small coves and bays. Areas enjoyed by local people are Mwnt and Pen Bryn where you may catch sight of the dolphins and seals.

Ceredigion Museum: This is a small museum in Aberystwyth housed in the old Coliseum theatre. Amongst the displays are old farming and kitchen equipment.
