Llanddewi Brefi is a small village that gained fame as the residence of Daffyd Thomas, a character from the television comedy series Little Britain. The show's widespread popularity attracted tourists who sought to capture a moment next to the village's road signs.

Instead if taking the recommended start to the Ystwyth trail take the lower road Pen Yr Angor which brings you out on the south of the harbour

Very bumpy detour but ends up picking up the Ystwyth trail

The Ystwyth Trail is a 32.1 km / 20 mile cycle route and footpath linking Aberystwyth and Tregaron. Part of the trail follows the track of the old Great Western Railway line.

Aberaeron is a pretty fishing port. It retains a Georgian character with elegant brightly painted townhouses and offers some high quality pubs and restaurants to choose from.

Coffee shop in the old Tregaron Bank

The main coast road, despite reasonably heavy traffic, is still a great road to ride.

Coffi a Bara (translates to Coffee & Bread) is a very welcome stopping point. Owned and run by Chris & Amilee, it opened just a few months ago when the couple wanted to escape to a less frantic life away from the city. Chris is a self-taught baker, and the stopping point is a mix of bakery, patisserie and cafe with a great selection to choose from. As you enter Tregaron, it can be easy to miss Coffi a Bara, which is located within the town car park. If you reach the centre, just turn around and its 40 metres on your right. Perfectly located and with a large courtyard area there is ample room for storing bikes. With the sun out it also makes for a good place to sit outside. To refuel there are plenty of options, with some delicious baguettes, great coffee and some of the nicest pastries you will find, plus a few more slightly left-field options, like a Chocolate Cruffin and pastry hot dog. The bread is made fresh every day, but despite riding with a small frame bag, it wasn't quite big enough to fit a loaf inside, but I did manage to grab the very last pain au chocolat that remained.
