The stunning Teifi Gorge along the River Teifi has inspired many artists, not least Turner who painted his well known view of Cilgerran Castle from here in 1798. The gorge was formed by the melt waters of an Ice Age glacier and is overlooked by high cliffs on which Cilgerran Castle perches imposingly. There is wonderful walking, particularly between Cilgerran and Llechryd and you may be lucky enough to spot otters and water birds. Canoeing is a popular activity on the river and coracles are still used here for salmon fishing.
