The walk begins at the View Point above Patch estuary on the Gwbert Road at 2pm. There is very limited parking at the view point, so we are suggesting that we lift share from Small World Theatre. Please email Ann If you feel you’re able to offer a lift to another walker, or if you don’t have transport. She is coordinating the lift sharing.
There is no parking at Small World Theatre, so please park behind The Guildhall or Mwldan and make your way to our venue on foot.
The route
Starting from the View Point above Patch estuary, we will walk Coastal Path route into town observing rich coastal wildlife and wonderful views through fields and woodland. We'll find traces of Cardigan’s historic ship building and evidence of human impact as we pass by Aberteifi's sewage works and the Mwldan Flood Alleviation Scheme.
The walk includes some rough terrain - please wear sturdy shoes. Free to attend.
It would be useful to know if you’re coming so we know we have enough cake… please email

Seren Stacey
Seren has documented the wildflowers and plants growing in her roadside garden since she stopped mowing it in 2020. She began the practice as a record of the returning native flora, and also a way for her to learn their Welsh names. Drawing her patch of wildflowers has deepened her sense of belonging and power to care for nature by improving biodiversity through small interventions.
