10. Teifi Valley Railway

Enjoy rides through miles of unspoilt woodland. Relax, savour the scenery and let the steam train take the strain.

With Cardigan Bay being so close, boat trips to spot the bottlenose dolphins and grey seals of Cardigan Bay are a big favourite with our guests.

The River Teifi is a magnet for watersport enthusiasts and there are numerous activity centres along the River Teifi offering boating, sailing, canoeing and kayaking. You can also saddle up and go horse riding or pony trekking, play golf, have a swim, or fish, sail and boat on the River Teiffi. With Cardigan Bay being so close, you will have plenty of opportunity to try your hand at surfing, kayaking, kitesurfing and canoeing.
