The Teifi Valley provides a dramatic backdrop for a rural escape, characterised by its winding river and ancient wooded slopes. Just a mile away, the historic town of Lampeter offers a charming slice of Welsh market life; browse its collection of unique independent shops or visit the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, the oldest degree-awarding institution in Wales after Oxford and Cambridge.
