Day 19 – Cilcennin to Aberystwyth

This was an enjoyable bimble through the Ceredigion coastal hills to keep my legs moving on a rest dayI picked up at Cilcennin and aimed for Aberystwyth avoiding the A487.

The roads were quiet and the views were astounding. From the Cardigan Bay to the Cambrian mountains in the distance.

Through Cross Inn, then to Llangwyrfon and into the Ystwyth Valley. I joined the A487 at LLanfarian for a few hundred metres, then cycle route signs directed me into a housing estate.

I picked up the Ystwyth trail which, in the grand tradition of these things followed an old rail route into Aberystwyth. Aberystwyth was in full summer mode with families and students enjoying the beach and seafront in the sunshine.
