NCliffs and WildlifeThe mosaic of habitats along the cliff sup-port a variety of wildlife. Thrift, SeaCampion and Rock Samphire are typicalof flowering plants that are able to toler-ate the exposed conditions.

The grassland along the cliff tops is anideal feeding ground for the Chough.Birds of prey such as Buzzard andPeregrine Falcon might also be seen hov-ering overhead.

Coastal woodland at Cilcert has anunderstorey of hazel, holly and dog rose.The Ceri brook, which reaches the seanear Cilcert, has cut its way through theglacial boulder clay deposited during thelast Ice Age. During the summer, thissheltered location is a good place to spotbutterflies such as the common blue,small skipper and wall brown which areattracted to the wild flowers and grassesalongside the path.

St Davids Church, HenfynywThe church occupies the site where St.David is said to have attended a religiousschool.

The present church, which dates from the19th century, incorporates the Tibericusstone – a carved stone which dates fromthe 7th century. The stone was built intothe east wall of new church, but unfortu-nately upside down.

AberaeronMae’r daith ar ei hyd o gwmpas 31⁄2milltir / 6 km. Dyma lwybr sy’n dilyn yrarfordir i’r de o dref Sioraidd Aberaeroncyn troi i mewn o’r arfordir. Mae’rllwybr yn cynnwys ambell i lethr serth.

Ar ddechrau’r bedwaredd ganrif arbymtheg pentref pysgota bychan oeddAberaeron. Fe welodd Alban Gwynne, tirberchennog lleol, bosibiliadau’r ardal abu’n allweddol yn hyrwyddo Mesurdrwy’r Senedd i adeiladu harbwrnewydd. Ar ôl datblygu’r harbwr (1807-1811), datblygodd Aberaeron ynborthladd llewyrchus yn fuan iawn gyda

AberaeronThe circular walk is some 31⁄2 miles / 6km in length. It follows the coastal pathsouth of the Georgian town of Aberaeronbefore turning inland. The route includessome steep climbs.

At the start of the 19th centuryAberaeron was a small fishing hamlet.Alban Gwynne, a local landowner, sawthe potential of the area and promoted aBill through Parliament to build a newharbour. After the development of theharbour (1807-1811), Aberaeron soondeveloped into a flourishing port with abusy ship-building industry. Aberaeron isone of the rare examples of urbanplanning in the early 19th century - JohnNash may have influenced the plan. Itswide streets and colourful terraces drawvisitors from far afield. Much of thetown is now designated a ConservationArea.

diwydiant adeiladu llongau prysur. MaeAberaeron bellach yn un o’r enghreifftiauprin hynny o drefi a gynlluniwyd arddechrau’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg– mae’n bosib y bu John Nash ynddylanwadol o ran y cynllun. Dawymwelwyr o bell ac agos i weld ystrydoedd eang a’r terasau lliwgar. Erbynhyn mae rhannau helaeth o’r dref ynArdal Warchod.

Adeiladu llongau a masnach yrarfordirPerthynai llawer o’r iardiau llongau ideuluoedd, megis yr un a oedd yn eiddoi deulu’r Harries. Bu eu cwmni yngyfrifol am adeiladu tua deg ar hugain ogychod rhwng 1838 a 1864.

Roedd y nwyddau a gludid i harbwrAberaeron yn debyg iawn i’r rhai agludid i borthladdoedd eraill Ceredigionyn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg.Calch a thanwydd, deunyddiau adeiladua llechi oedd y mewnforion pwysicaf, yngwasanaethu cefnwlad amaethyddolhelaeth Aberaeron. Ger y fynedfa i faesparcio traeth y de mae’r hen dy pwysosydd wedi ei wneud o lechfaen ar ffurfdiemwnt, a dyma’r unig beth sy’nweddill o hen fasnach calch y dref erstalwm. Ni ddaeth rheilffordd i Aberaerontan 1911, ac fe roes hynny fywydnewydd i’r harbwr.

Ship building and coastal tradeMany of the shipyards were familyconcerns, such as that run by the Harriesfamily whose company built some thirtyvessels between 1838 and 1864.

Goods shipped into Aberaeron weremuch the same as those imported intomost of Ceredigion’s harbours during thenineteenth century. Lime and fuel,building materials and slates were themost important imports, servingAberaeron’s extensive agriculturalhinterland. Near the south beach carpark entrance is the tiny old weigh-housewith its unusual diamond-shaped slatepattern, the town’s last reminder of aonce prosperous lime trade. Aberaeronwas not served by rail until 1911, andthis gave the harbour an extended leaseof life.
