Aberaeron
A planned town where colorful Georgian terraces surround the harbour. Known for its honey ice cream and seafood.
Aberaeron is a Georgian-style harbour town, planned and built in the early 19th century. Neat rows of pastel blue, bright yellow and pink terraces line both sides of the harbour, making it one of Wales's most photogenic seaside towns. Stroll along the harbour and try the local honey ice cream and fish and chips. There is a seafood festival in summer. About 4 km from town is Llanerchaeron, a National Trust property. Aberaeron is about 25 km south of Aberystwyth, a 40-minute ride on the T5 bus.
