Discover Aberaeron
The attractiveness of Aberaeron town is in no small part due to the work of the Shrewsbury architect Edward Haycock who was commissioned in the 1830’s to help with the design of the town. This makes Aberaeron quite unique in West Wales due to its Regency architecture and the principal square in the town (Sgwar Alban) is built in this stunning style. The town is known in the area, not only for its Regency architecture, but also for its streets of colourful Georgian terraced houses.
There are many reasons that make Aberaeron an attractive place to live and visit. It is now a thriving harbour town with many attractions and modern day conveniences. The harbour is a popular destination for a walk, and to enjoy the many independent cafes and restaurants that adorn the winding streets. Many of the establishments boast local produce and freshly caught seafood on their menus.
The town also has a flourishing community with a modern Primary school and a well established Secondary school. The town contains many amenities such as a post office, pharmacy, local supermarket, hairdressers, bakery, hotels and petrol station. There are also local arts and crafts shops, a bookstore and local cuisine shops to satisfy the curious minded shopper.
Aberaeron hosts an array of festivals throughout the year, mainly in the summer season. For example, the town holds a Carnival every August, an annual festival of Welsh Ponies and Cobs and the Aberaeron Mackerel Festival. Nearby there is the National Trust property at Llanerchaeron which is an 18th Century Georgian manor, with beautiful gardens and grounds.
