The Cambrian Mountains are one of the few remote areas left in southern Britain, and Tregaron lies close to this open wilderness. Although there are only a few roadways across the mountains they are acknowledged as some of the most scenic routes in Britain, where walkers and cyclists can revel in the peaceful solitude.
Historic Tregaron is a ’Walkers are Welcome’ town, and the annual Walking Festival held in May is a firm favourite on the events calendar. Competitors and visitors come from all over the UK and Ireland for the annual horse trotting and carriage racing too. It is also the home to the Welsh Gold Centre, selling Celtic inspired designs.
The town is small and full of independent shops, and on the square you can find an award winning pub/restaurant, as well as a wood carving depicting Twm Siôn Cati, the legendary 17th-century ‘Robin Hood of Wales’ who is said to have used his wit and bravery to outsmart gentry and crooks alike.
Cors Caron, or ‘Tregaron Bog’ as it is also known, is the largest raised bog in Britain and lies just outside the town. It is a peat bog of international importance and a nature reserve since 1955. It provides a habitat to very rare flora and fauna and is fantastic for wildlife spotting, including buzzards, peregrine falcons, harriers and iconic red kites.
The beautiful Ceredigion coastline can be reached within a 30-minute drive and offers lovely beaches (many dog friendly year round), and interesting towns and villages to visit. The university town of Aberystwyth has an historic castle, promenade and pier, plus it is home to one of Wales’ most picturesque steam train journeys through the valley over to Devil’s Bridge. Georgian harbour town Aberaeron, and the quaint fishing town of New Quay are also great places to visit for restaurants, shops, boat rides and dolphin spotting. Beach 13 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

We had such a lovely couple of days staying here whilst visiting an open day at Aberystwyth university. I spent most of my childhood holidays in Tregaron, staying in the lilttle wooden bungalow my grandparents owned for about 20 years from the 1960's through to the 1980s. For me, Tregaron is a totally magical place, barely changed at all in all the years since - maybe a newer petrol pump at the village garage, the Spa has definitely had a make-over and the bank is now a very pretty looking cafe. But the Talbot arms is exactly the same as it ever was and Henry Richard's statue still watches over the square with majestic fortitude.The cottage is in a magnificent location, reached halfway up a track between two farms, with views to the ancient wetlands and plenty of interesting wildlife and a quintessential welsh stream nearby. It's a beautifully renovated mill and felt so luxurious... Huge, for the two of us, with a fantastic wood burning stove, big decadent bath, working oven, decent TV, cosy sofas and comfortable beds... Perfect. I really hope I can come back again soon and drag other family members with me!

The Mill was a last minute booking for us and we were very happy to find it - it’s in a beautiful part of Wales, quiet and rural, but close to the amenities of Tregaron. It is recently renovated and well laid out. I would have liked access to more wood for the fire, internet was a bit patchy at times, instructions for the heating, recycling etc and a few things could do with cleaning better, but it was nothing that detracted from a lovely short break.
