The Welsh woollen industry started here. Most of the looms

Hafan Bach is situated about half-way between Carmarthen and
Cardigan. There are plenty of shops in both of these towns although the most
comprehensive range is to be found in Carmarthen.
The nearest beach is at Aberporth just about 12 miles using the country lanes.
The landscapes of the Teifi valley are very attractive and the Teifi is
considered by many to be one of the most beautiful rivers in Wales.
Between Cenarth and Cardigan there is an ancient tradition of fishing and travel
using coracles – very simple light-weight boats made of bent sticks covered with
waterproofed hide or skins. These are paddled by a single oar used at the front
of the craft which requires great skill.
There are very nice beaches and coastal walks at Aberporth, Mwnt, Tresaith and
Llangranog (to mention but a few!).
In addition to the attractions provided by nature, there are also plenty of
other places to visit such as Folly Farm (see slide show on left), and the Welsh
National Woollen Museum right here in Drefach Felindre
This comfortable accommodation is situated in a delightful
spot in the village of Felindre, Carmarthenshire, once the centre of the Welsh
Woollen Industry.
We are not far from Cardigan, a pretty market town, and the Coracle Museum at
Cenarth which houses a collection of coracles. The impressive waterfall at
Cenarth is a great place for a picnic. If you like boating, it is possible to
canoe on the River Teifi.
If you like wildlife, a visit to Cardigan Bay may enable you to see porpoises,
grey seals and bottleneck dolphins. National Trust properties at Mwnt and
Penbryn are certainly worth visiting. There are many delightful coastal villages
such as Llangranog and Cwmtydu.
The Teifi Valley has ancient drover’s roads and many small towns and craft
centres to explore. Here, in Drefach Felindre, you will find the Museum of the
Welsh Woollen Industry which explains how it all began (and ended) many years
ago. Our nearest small town is Newcastle Emlyn, which has several inns and
restaurants.
For bird watching and seeing otters, visit the Welsh Wildlife Centre, which is
one of the best places in the whole of the UK to do this. There is lots to do in
this unspoilt part of Wales. Plenty of walking, fishing, golf and pony trekking
is here for the taking. We have a trout fishery close by where you can be sure
of catching a good size specimen to take home.
The country lanes are normally quiet and the verges full of wild flowers. Otters
swim in the River Teifi and if you have patience you may catch a glimpse of
them. The coast is but a short drive away and then you can walk to many secluded
coves and beaches.
There are several railways in course of restoration in Ceredgion and
Carmarthenshire. The Teifi Railway operates from Bronwydd and runs regular trips
throughout the season. Even nearer to home, we have the Rail Centre at Henllan
where Thomas the Tank Engine can be visited and, sometimes, seen in action!
