STOPS ON THE COASTAL WAY

LLANGRANNOG

The hairy drive down to this seaside village, which sits in a narrow river valley, is worth it for a fish platter at The Beach Hut. The nearby Ship Inn serves craft ales from Cardigan-based Mantle Brewery. thebeachhutwales. co.uk facebook.com/ theshipllangrannog

ABERYSTWYTH

The foodie highlights here include SY23, where Nathan Davies, of 2021’s Great British Menu, cooks farmed, fished and foraged produce over fire; the Spanish produce at Ultracomida; and the brownies at Ridiculously Rich. ultracomida.co.uk sy23restaurant.com ridiculouslyrichbyalana.co.uk

TRESAITH

This coastal village is noteworthy for both its nearby waterfall and the distillery. The team at In the Welsh Wind grow their own barley to make Welsh grain whisky and forage for local botanicals to make bespoke gins. They also run gin-making experiences. inthewelshwind. co.uk

FFOREST FARM

Tucked away beside the Teifi Gorge, Fforest Farm is a back-to-nature retreat, with eclectic accommodation options, an onsite pub and a penchant for hosting huge feasts focused on local, seasonal ingredients — think sea bass ceviche, barbecued crab or fire-roasted Welsh meat. coldatnight.co.uk pizzatipi.co.uk
