Cardigan is a compact historic market town on the tidal estuary of the River Teifi in the county of Ceredigion, in west Wales. The town grew as a medieval port and market centre and is notable for the restored Cardigan Castle, riverside quays and its outlook towards Cardigan Bay, where boat trips and wildlife watching are popular.
Today Cardigan blends a strong local community - many Welsh speakers alongside English - with an eclectic high street of independent shops, cafes and arts venues, plus seasonal festivals and food events. The local economy leans on agriculture, tourism and small creative businesses, making it a lively gateway to the surrounding coastal and rural landscape.
