Map of the UK

Aberporth in Ceredigion, Wales is a compact coastal village on Cardigan Bay with a sandy beach, the Ceredigion Coast Path and a reputation for marine wildlife - seals and bottlenose dolphins are commonly seen from the shore. It combines a traditional seaside holiday economy of cottages and cafés with an unusual modern twist: Parc Aberporth close by is a recognised site for unmanned aircraft and flight testing, giving the village a surprising aerospace connection.

Y Ferwig is a largely rural ward of small farms, hamlets and historic parish churches inland from the coast, where Welsh language and community life remain important. The area relies on agriculture, holiday accommodation and small local businesses, with the nearby market town of Cardigan providing services; together the communities offer a mix of coastal walking, wildlife watching and quiet countryside character.
