Aberteifi / Cardigan

Castell AberteifiAn ancient market town, and gateway to the Teifi valley, located 8 miles south from Tresaith. The Welsh name, Aberteifi, means ‘mouth of the river Teifi’. Across the road from Cardigan Bridge is a castle originally built in wood by the Normans, and then in stone by the Welsh man, Lord Rhys.

The castle changed hands numerous times between Norman and Welsh, but it’s significance is even more so since it is the birth place of the Eisteddfod under the leadership of Rhys ap Gruffydd, Lord Rhys.

Cardigan has a prosperous theatre, Mwldan theatre, which also houses a spacious cinema.
