Great fun days out for the whole family are to be had, whatever the weather, at Folly Farm Adventure Park; Oakwood (Wales' Largest Theme Park); Heatherton Adventure and Sports Park; Heron's Brook.

Cardigan Bay is home to a myriad of marine wildlife. Migrating dolphins can often be seen offshore and there are numerous boat trips offering opportunities to view harbour porpoises, Atlantic grey seals and our resident family of bottled-nosed dolphins.

While the rugged cliffs and rarely visited coves of the Ceredigion Heritage Coast, shelter some of Britain rarest birds.

The surrounding coast and countryside is also ideal walking country offering a delightful range of walks. Choose from an invigorating walk across wild headlands or a gentle stroll through scenic woodlands.
Cycling is also very popular the lanes around Blaenwaun give you the opportunity to cycle along the coast, or into Cardigan and along the new cycle track to the castle at Cilgerran.

Ceredigion's challenging freshwater and sea-angling conditions attract many fishing enthusiasts. Coarse angling is also popular, and fishing in our own coarse lake on the Park is free to residents throughout their stay

Cardigan and the surrounding area offers a wide range of sporting facilities. For the golfer there is an 18 hole championship course at Gwbert (11/2 miles) and three 9 hole courses within 12 miles of the Park (The Cliff Hotel, Gwbert; Newport Golf Club, Newport; Cwmrhydyneuadd, Pentregat)

Sailing and water sport fans are regularly attracted to our beaches and coastline. The Teifi Boating Club is situated at Gwbert (2 miles) and a new venture, Cardigan Boat Charters, allow you to hire outboard boats. Another way to explore the beautiful, unspoilt countryside is on horseback. There are a few good riding schools in the vicinity catering for the experienced and novice rider alike.
