For guests staying at Cwm Du we offer Salmon and Trout fishing along our own private stretch of the river Ceri a tributary of the Tivey which reaches the Tivey just above Cenarth Falls. £10.00 per rod per day or £50.00 per rod per week.

Cwm Du country house Bed and Breakfast is ideally situated for exploring the beaches, countryside and attractions of West Wales. Whether you are interested in walking, bird watching, fishing, sailing, horse riding, browsing in local craft and antique shops or simply relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet and fresh air, you will find something here for you!

Beaches and Coast
The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and the Marine Heritage Coast of Cardigan Bay are within easy reach. The coastal waters are home to an abundance of marine wildlife including bottlenose dolphins, seals, porpoises and seabird colonies. It is a splendid coastline of cliffs, estuaries and long beaches.

The local beaches are safe and clean and many have been awarded Blue Flag status. Our personal favorites include Poppit Sands near Cardigan (quiet even on the busiest days); Mwnt and Penbryn (National Trust); Llangranog, New Quay and Tresaith to the north and the magnificent Newport Sands to the west. To the south, easily accessible along our quiet country roads, are the popular beaches of Pembrey (with its Country Park), Pendine (visit the Museum of Speed too) and Tenby as well as the Dylan Thomas house at Laugharne.

The Welsh Wildlife Centre and Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve near Cilgerran have 265 acres of the best wildlife habitat in Wales. It has nature walks, otter hides and the recently introduced water buffalo in the marshes around the estuary. There is also an award-winning visitor centre.

For those who want a more hands-on approach, Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park offers the chance to hand-feed llamas, wallabies and piglets. Not to be missed is the spectacular walk to the cliff-top viewing point where seals are almost guaranteed. Stop and have a picnic and keep an eye out for dolphins too.

The Tropical Butterfly House at Felinwynt is well worth a visit if you can stand the heat!

Other Attractions Don’t miss a trip to the famous “Salmon Leap” falls at Cenarth, home of the coracle fishermen and the National Coracle Centre. Enjoy a stroll around this conservation village with its 17th century flour mill, pretty teashops and traditional pubs. We love the much less well-known walk by the rapids near the bridge at Henllan.

One of many in this part of West Wales, Cilgerran Castle - situated amongst woods on the rim of a steep gorge - is well worth a visit. In our opinion, the best way to reach Cilgerran Castle is to take a stroll along the riverside path from Llechryd Bridge. The beauty and tranquility along this stretch is breathtaking.

The Gwili Steam Railway, near Carmarthen, takes you through wooded hills and open fields, along the river offering a living reminder of the Great Western Railway branch line following the route originally taken by the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth line.

For family days out, the choice is equally wide. Enjoy the attractions at Oakwood Leisure Park or Groveland Adventure World. The Dyfed Shire Horse Farm, Folly Farm and Heron’s Brook also offer fun for all. There are swimming pools and leisure centres in Newcastle Emlyn, Cardigan and Carmarthen.

For those of you keen on gardening, the National Botanic Garden near Carmarthen is a must-see. Set in 100 acres, this is the first major botanic garden in the UK for over 200 years. It is centered on the Great Glass House, the largest single-span glasshouse in the world.

Also worth a visit is Aberglasney, a 16/17th century historic garden and house set in the picturesque Tywi Valley (as seen in the BBC series “Aberglasney - a garden lost in time”).
