Perched above the deep, wooded gorge of the River Teifi, Cilgerran is a village defined by its ancient bedrock and its proximity to the market town of Cardigan, just three miles to the northwest. The village skyline is dominated by the twin-towered ruins of its 13th-century castle, which sits on a dramatic promontory overlooking the river. Historically, the area was sustained by its slate quarries and the salmon and sewin caught by traditional coracle fishermen - a craft that is still practiced and celebrated on this stretch of water today. Life in the village is practical as much as it is scenic; it retains a primary school, a couple of steady pubs, and a useful village shop, while the nearby Welsh Wildlife Centre provides a network of footpaths through the Teifi Marshes. It is a place where the landscape remains the focal point, bridging the gap between the rugged hills of north Pembrokeshire and the tidal estuary leading out to the coast.
