Walking the Ceredigion Coastal path, Borth to Ynyslas

 

Holiday cottage owners Mick & Julie's New Years resoution was to walk the 60 mile long Ceredigion Coastal path in sections during 2013.  The idea is to be able to advise holiday cottage guests how best to enjoy coastal walking holidays from Stallion Valley holiday cottages.

 

On Monday we tackled the 4.5 mile section from Borth to Ynylas along with our 3 dogs.  The weather forecast was wrong! There was no sun and a very cold North wind in our faces. At low tide you can walk along the huge dog friendly beach from Borth to the nature reserve and sand dunes at Ynyslas. Once we got walking we soon warmed up and the dogs had a great time.

 

At Ynysllas we reached the Dovey River estuary and had great views across the river to Aberdovey and the snow covered mountains of Snowdonia beyond. It was a relief to turn around and walk the 4.5 miles back to the car with the wind at our backs.

 

At easy walk, with beautiful scenery and bracing sea air which gave us a healthy appetite for a hearty late lunch.  Our 3 tired dogs enjoyed their romp on a huge dog friendly beach and an afternoon nap.
