Mwnt Beach
We climbed to the top of the mount - what an amazing view! Beach is lovely, great afternoon spent here.
Mwnt has been voted a top beach on countless occasions. Acclaimed by the Daily Mail in 2011 as one of "Europe's top ten loveliest, hidden beaches", and selected by Country Life as a great place for a picnic.
Mwnt was also recognised as one of the National Trust's top 'Special Places' in 2014 according to a public vote.
Mwnt beach is a sheltered sandy cove, This popular beach is off the beaten track but can still get busy in the height of summer.
The single track road leads over a cattle grid as the view opens up below over Cardigan Bay.
The steep steps leading to the beach make it unsuitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs, but the refreshment booth can still be reached.There is parking in a field above the beach.
Although swimming conditions are considered safe at Mwnt but there is no lifeguard service here. A well-trodden path circles Foel y Mwnt, leading to the top of the hill which overlooks the beach. The Ceredigion Heritage Coastal Path passes along the cliff behind the beach.
