Cwmtydu sits at the mouth of a quiet and secluded valley, offering a retreat if that’s what you want, but there’s also a wealth of activities available in the area.
Walking, along the Coast Path, through woodland, and across country, with walks to suit all abilities, and the Cardi Bach bus extending the range as far as Cardigan to the South and New Quay to the North.
Fishing, kayaking, dingy sailing, wind surfing, climbing, cycling, diving, watching the wildlife (birds, seals, and dolphins), and surfing are all possible in Cwmtydu or nearby. There are boat trips and other water sports in New Quay.
You can bring your own equipment and store it safely in the boat house, or contact us to find out about equipment and training available from ICY UK Ltd. with themed courses in the Autumn and Spring.
