As expected many mariners are buried here and the churchyard is also the resting place of Hywel Teifi Edwards, writer, scholar and patriot and Sir Geraint Evans, the famous baritone.

Pont Aberarth

Pont Aberarth a adeiladwyd yn 1849 ar ol i'r bont flaenorol gael ei dinsitrio gan lif yn 1846. Llifa Afon Arth - un o nifer o afonydd a enwir ar ol anifeilaid yng Nghymru - i mewn i Fae Ceredigion gerllaw. Pont Aberarth was built in 1849 after the previous bridge was destroyed by a flood. 'Arth' is the Welsh name for 'bear' - one of many river names in Wales named after animals. The river flows into Cardigan Bay a short distance away.

The village is down the hill to the left. In the middle distance is Aberaeron, and further away (10.4 km) is New Quay.

Aberaeron harbour

Aberaeron harbour area is one of the genuinely prettiest views in Wales; the colours understated, the atmosphere natural and unpretentious. The sort of place where you want to be spending some time exploring.

The pebble storm beach at Aberaeron

The foreshore area here smells of zinging ozone that makes you want to fill your lungs to capacity and the views down the coast towards New Quay draw you on to the coast path.

The foreshore at Aberaeron in May

Walking here I had Charles Trenet's 'La Mer' and Bobby Darin's 'Beyond the Sea' competing in my head.

The coast path approaching Aberaeron from the south-west

The view of the town and harbour is only slightly blighted by the oafish presence of the council offices which you have to zone out.

Some of the back gardens of Aberaeron

The back gardens of Aberaeron present as pleasant an aspect as the frontages, with nice extensions and outside spaces. I always think that you get a good appreciation of a town or city when entering it on a train, as you get to see into and over back gardens and the rear elevations of houses - sometimes in contrast to their street frontages. You can get the same insight from walking on foot.

The weirs on the Afon Aeron in Aberaeron

A nice feature of a walk along this stretch of riverbank is the weirs busy with ducks.

Horse grazing a hillside above Aberaeron

If I was reincarnated I would give consideration to being a horse grazing here. Assuming I had any choice in the matter. Which of course I wouldn't...

The rear half of a bus near Aberaeron

This section of bus has been sited here, I think, to act as either a commentary box or admission / access control for a horse-show, or similar event. There are paddocks with horses adjacent and in the past the farm may have hosted such things. The black plastic bin is half full of beer bottles. The yellow porcelain loo (just visible right of shot) has just been fly-tipped I think.

Footpath between Aberaeron and Aberarth

The footpath joins a field access track here and offers great views northwards.

The footpath carries me across fields towards the church sited on a domed hill above the sea.

Part of the graveyard at Llanddewi Aberarth

A significant number of the graves here carry the title 'Master Mariner' below the names of the male deceased, obviously the resting place of choice for those seafarers of the locality, and with its position here I can see why.
