Surrounded by beautiful welsh countryside lies the estate of Llanerchaeron. There's a large selection of second hand books, free parking and a café during summer to enjoy a day out.

River bank walk along the Aeron which flows close to the restored mansion at Llanerchaeron before entering the town of Aberaeron where it passes into Cardigan Bay. Despite the relatively small size of the river, it sustains a population of salmon and brown trout. Dylan Thomas lived a few miles away at Talsarn and called the Aeron valley "the most precious place in the world."

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

Great sun trap for a lunch break.

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.

Bridge over the river
