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."
