Bus travel is the perfect aid to your scenic adventures along the Wales Coast Path. If you want to explore West Wales, using a TrawsCambria bus ticket makes your journeys even simpler. You can buy your ticket on the TrawsCymru app, where it will be valid for 24 hours from purchase. App tickets bought on board are valid until the end of that day.
From Aberystwyth to Aberporth, here’s an example itinerary of how you can make the most of your £6.50 bus ticket along the Wales Coast Path.
Aberystwyth
Starting in Aberystwyth, there is plenty to discover. You might want to explore the promenade, pubs, National Library of Wales or the Vale of Rheidol Railway. If you’d like to embark on a short walk along the Wales Coast Path, why not try the circular walk towards Clarach? Offering beautiful beach and sea views from Constitution Hill, the walk takes between 1-2 hours and is a great way to see more of Aberystwyth’s scenery.
Once you’ve finished in Aberystwyth, hop on the T1 or T5 TrawsCymru bus with your TrawsCambria ticket. Once activated on the app, your ticket will be live for 24 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore West Wales. Your next stop is picturesque harbour town, Aberaeron.
Aberaeron
Colourful Aberaeron is a gem along the West Wales coast. Explore the harbour, independent shops and treat yourself to an ice cream. Aberaeron is also the gateway to one of the most popular stretches of the Wales Coast Path – Aberaeron to New Quay. This walk takes between 3-4 hours; stroll along the stunning coastline and walk through areas where Dylan Thomas spent his time writing.
If you’d rather hop on the bus to your next West Wales destination, use your TrawsCambria ticket to catch the T5 bus to New Quay.
New Quay
New Quay is a great place to explore short sections of the Wales Coast Path. If you caught the bus, you could walk to Cei Beach and Llanina Point, shorter segments of the Aberaeron route.
Why not stay overnight in New Quay? Enjoy fish and chips at the harbour or a meal at a local restaurant and refuel. If you bought your TrawsCambria ticket on the app, it will still be valid in the morning.
A morning in New Quay is a beautiful setting. Beach views, sea views, harbour views, all on your doorstep. To make the most of your morning, we recommend walking the local town trail that connects to the Wales Coast Path. Enjoy a stroll along the harbour, admire the maiden sculpture and visit the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre.
It’s time to catch the bus to your final West Wales destination using your TrawsCambria ticket - hop on the T5 to Aberporth.
Aberporth
Aberporth is a great spot along the Wales Coast Path to explore. Sandy beaches, scenic views of Cardigan Bay and the fishing village prove popular for locals and tourists. For a final Wales Coast Path stroll, why not walk the circular route to Tresaith? With benches, refreshments and coastal scenery, it’s a lovely walk to end your trip.
If you’ve still got time left on your TrawsCambria bus ticket, you could catch the T5 bus back to Aberystwyth for a circular 24 hours spent in West Wales.
Our TrawsCambria ticket connects you with multiple bus routes in West Wales, regular journeys and plenty of walks to choose from. For £6.50, you can hop on and hop off along the Wales Coast Path easily and accessibly.
