The Cambrian Mountains are one of the few remote areas left in southern Britain, and Tregaron lies close to this open wilderness. Although there are only a few roadways across the mountains they are acknowledged as some of the most scenic routes in Britain, where walkers and cyclists can revel in the peaceful solitude. Historic Tregaron is a ’Walkers are Welcome’ town, and the annual Walking Festival held in May is a firm favourite on the events calendar. Competitors and visitors come from all over the UK and Ireland for the annual horse trotting and carriage racing too. It is also the home to the Welsh Gold Centre, selling Celtic inspired designs. The town is small and full of independent shops, and on the square, you can find an award winning pub/restaurant, as well as a wood carving depicting Twm Siôn Cati, the legendary 17th-century ‘Robin Hood of Wales’ who is said to have used his wit and bravery to outsmart gentry and crooks alike. Cors Caron, or ‘Tregaron Bog’ as it is also known, is the largest raised bog in Britain and lies just outside the town. It is a peat bog of international importance and a nature reserve since 1955. It provides a habitat to very rare flora and fauna and is fantastic for wildlife spotting, including buzzards, peregrine falcons, harriers and iconic red kites. The beautiful Ceredigion coastline can be reached within a 30-minute drive and offers lovely beaches, and interesting towns and villages to visit. The university town of Aberystwyth has a historic castle, promenade and pier, plus it is home to one of Wales’ most picturesque steam train journeys through the valley over to Devil’s Bridge. Georgian harbour town Aberaeron, and the quaint fishing town of New Quay are also great. Beach 17 miles. Pub 1¼ miles.
