Just a short drive from Flambards Hotel, the enchanting cove of Mwnt awaits. Nestled on the Mid Wales coast, this hidden treasure is one of Ceredigion’s most breathtaking destinations, offering golden sands, rolling waves, and an abundance of wildlife.
Arriving at Mwnt feels like stepping into a postcard. As you navigate the winding country lanes north of Cardigan, the dramatic views of Cardigan Bay unfold before you, setting the tone for a perfect day out. The beach, accessed by a series of steps, is sheltered and peaceful, a favourite spot for families and nature enthusiasts alike.
Rising above the beach is Foel y Mwnt, a conical hill that offers panoramic views of the coastline. The climb to the top is a must, rewarding visitors with vistas that stretch to the mountains of Snowdonia on clear days. Below, dolphins often play in the turquoise waters, and during the seal breeding season (August to December), you may even spot fluffy white seal pups nestled on nearby rocks.
Mwnt’s charm extends beyond its natural beauty. The Church of the Holy Cross, dating back to the 14th century, stands as a quiet reminder of the areas rich history, from medieval pilgrims to the infamous Mwnt Red Sunday of 1155.
With a National Trust car park, convenient facilities, and its Green Coast and Seaside Award status, Mwnt is a must-visit during your stay. After a day soaking in the serenity of this coastal gem, return to Flambards Hotel for a relaxing evening in comfort and style.
