The Teifi Waterside Hotel
POPPIT SANDS
At the mouth of the Teifi Estuary, Poppit Sands is a sandy beach backed by dunes.
At high water, there is plenty of beach but it’s at low tide when the full extent of sand appears to go almost to Gwbert on the other side. Don’t attempt a crossing, though, the currents are too strong. Watch the tide when it’s coming in. It’s fast!
It is the start, or the end, of the 186 mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path which takes you right around the coast to Amroth in the south.
Dog restrictions apply to the western end of the beach between 1st May and 30th September.

Dai Crabs
Enjoy a scenic boat trip along the river Teifi, which will take approximately 1 hour. You can even discuss with the Captain or his skipper who happens to be his 90 year old father about the history of the river Teifi, which dates back to the 11th century. He can give you an insight of how the river developed into a major fishing and ship building industry and how the people once earned their living on this beautiful stretch of the river.
We will embark from Cardigan Bridge jetty in Cardigan town, and travel downstream to the mouth of the estuary in Gwbert. En-route there will be opportunities to take photographs of the beautiful scenic views..
St Dogmaels Abbey
One of Pembrokeshire's most beautiful historical attractions, we are also a community visitors centre based at the Benedictine Tironensian Abbey in St Dogmaels. The Coach House is the visitors' centre of the historic St Dogmaels Abbey Pembrokeshire, it is also the home of the community charity Hanes Llandoch.
Ceibwr Bay
A tiny inlet of rocks and sand surrounded by tall cliffs. It’s definitely a wild and remote beach. Not good for swimmers but good for porpoise spotting.
One mile to the south is The Witches’ Cauldron or Pwll Y Wrach, a collapsed cave right alongside the Coast Path. It’s a crater in a hill filled with greeny-blue water, formed where sea waters have eroded soft rocks along a fault.
