Checking the information on the Ceredigion Coastal Path, Wales

As the information board shows there is a variety of wildlife to watch out for including Birds and Dolphins as well as the beautiful selection of wildflowers and Gorse.

The rocks in Ceredigion were laid down on the floor of a deep-sea basin during the Silurian and Ordovician period some 505 to 406 million years ago. These sedimentary rocks – mudstones, siltstones and sandstones – were uplifted and emerged above the sea during a later mountain building period. This caused them to be folded and faulted. The eroded coastline provides a unique opportunity to see these rocks and their structures.
