Tresaith
The picturesque coastal village of Tresaith is situated 8
miles from Cardigan along the Ceredigion coast line in West Wales. The village features
a dramatic cliff top waterfall where the river Saith cascades down onto the
golden sandy beach below.
The translation of the Welsh name ‘Tresaith’ is ‘town of
seven’, which is believed to originate from the tale of seven Irish sisters.
According to local legend, there was once an Irish King who, in despair of his
seven troublesome daughters, cast them adrift on an open boat out onto the
Irish Sea. The boat was said to beach at Tresaith, where the seven princesses
fell in love and married seven sons of local Welsh families, hence the name the
town of seven.
Tresaith is located on the Ceredigion Coast Path which
offers walkers 60 miles of unspoilt coastline, with excellent views across
Cardigan Bay. The recently improved footpath to the south of Tresaith provides a
scenic route to Aberporth (2 miles), whilst to the north, a steeper more
challenging trail leads to the golden sands of Penbryn (1.6 miles). For wildlife lovers, Tresaith is an ideal place to spot a
variety of seabirds as well as bottle-nosed dolphins and grey seals which are
popular visitors during the summer months.
The sheltered sandy beach makes Tresaith a popular
destination among locals and holiday makers on warm sunny days. Being awarded the European Blue Flag status,
the beach is an attractive location for swimmers, canoeists, and surfers alike.
The beach is equipped with life buoys and is normally patrolled by a lifeguard
during the months of July and August. Tresaith is also a popular sailing location, equipped with a
slipway and home to the Tresaith Mariners Sailing Club. Races can often be seen
taking place on Sundays during the sailing season.
Beachside facilities at Tresaith include a shop and café
serving refreshments and ice creams. For diners wishing to take in the sea
view, The Ship Inn serves excellent food and has plenty of tables outside on
the sun terrace overlooking the beach. The public conveniences are located
close to the beach and have wheelchair access and baby changing facilities. A
car park can be found on the right of Ffordd Tresaith as you come into Tresaith
from Aberporth. Steps leading down to the beach can be found by the bus stop
further down the road. Limited parking is also available on the beach front,
including a few spaces for disabled drivers.
