Borth

Borth is a coastal settlement stretching along Cardigan Bay with a sandy beach extending north from Aberystwyth. The village sits between the sea and inland countryside, creating a linear settlement pattern along the shore.

The settlement developed during the Victorian period as tourism grew along the Welsh coast, transforming it into a destination. This expansion shaped the village's current layout and character.

The community speaks Welsh in daily life, and this language shapes how locals interact and identify with the place.

The village has shops, cafes, and places to stay distributed along its main street. Regular buses connect it to Aberystwyth and surrounding areas, making it easy to visit or explore further.

At low tide, ancient tree stumps appear along the beach, remnants of a forest that covered the area thousands of years ago. These remains show how dramatically the coastline has changed since then.
