Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park is a picturesque and diverse nature reserve located in Cardiganshire, Wales. Situated on a peninsula, the park offers stunning views of the Cardigan Bay, encompassing vast stretches of downs and moorland.

Covering an area of approximately 35 acres, the farm park boasts a variety of natural habitats. Visitors can explore the rugged coastal cliffs, which provide a nesting ground for numerous seabirds, including guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes. The cliffs also offer a chance to spot grey seals, as they often gather on the nearby rocks.

The park is home to a small working farm, where visitors can interact with a range of domestic animals. Children can enjoy petting and feeding the friendly donkeys, goats, and Shetland ponies, while adults can learn about traditional farming practices and the history of the area.

Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park is also known for its resident population of bottlenose dolphins. Visitors can take a boat trip to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, a truly unforgettable experience.

For those interested in botany, the park features a diverse array of plant species, including rare wildflowers that thrive in the coastal environment. There are also several walking trails that wind through the downs and moorland, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

With its stunning natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and educational opportunities, Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and families alike.
