ABERAERON...
Aberaeron is one of Wales' very first "planned" towns, the idea of establishing a port at the Aeron's mouth having been the brainchild of a local cleric - the Reverend Alban Jones-Gwynne - in the nineteenth century. The town celebrated its bicentenary in 2007.
A Special Place...
Aberaeron's most striking feature is its architecture. One house in every four is listed either as being of special architectural or historical interest. The graciously designed town just invites you to walk around it and feast your eyes on the subtle differences between this house and the next, that street and the other.....
Seafaring history...
A thriving port in the days of commercial sailing, sailing still plays a major part in the life of the town, its stonewalled harbour sheltering yachts from near and far for much of the year.As well as being a most popular centre for yachting Aberaeron is a popular port from which to set forth to marvel at the wildlife of Ceredigion's Maritime Heritage Coast - the first offshore conservation area of its kind in the United Kingdom.

The road leads onward from Llanerchaeron to Felinfach and Talsarn, where Dylan Thomas was fond of visiting - as the name of his daughter "Aeronwy" testifies.Beyond Talsarn the green vale wends its way to Llangeitho where one of Wales's greatest revivalist preachers - Daniel Rowland - once drew thousands from all parts of Wales to marvel at the power of his oratory.
