Aberarth

During the 12th century Cistercian monks used the area as a seaport to import "Bath Stone" from Bristol which they used for the building of Strata Florida Abbey on land granted to them by The Lord Rhys.

The present parish church has a Norman architecture tower with the rest rebuilt in the Victorian era in 1860.

Secured to the wall inside the front door is the only Viking hogsback stone found in Wales.

It has some welcome visitors from the wild bird community; the red kite, peregrine falcon, chough and stonechat are some of the species to be found in the locality.

In 2005, a public footpath and cycle lane was finished, connecting Aberarth to its larger neighbour, Aberaeron.
