Ceredigion

Ceredigion spans 688 square miles along Cardigan Bay, featuring 50 miles of coastline and rising into the Cambrian Mountains toward the east.

The territory underwent significant changes during medieval times, from its early Celtic inhabitants through Norman conquest and subsequent Welsh resistance in the 12th century.

The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth maintains extensive collections of Welsh literature, manuscripts, and historical documents dating back several centuries.

The region connects to major Welsh cities through the A487 coastal trunk road, with regular bus services linking towns and villages across the county.

The waters off Ceredigion's coast support a permanent population of bottlenose dolphins, visible from numerous coastal observation points throughout the year.
