New Quay  -  or 'Cei Newydd' in Welsh,  with Its picturesque houses, pubs and restaurants clings to the sides of the hills rising above the blue waters of Cardigan Bay on the coast of West Wales. The town has  narrow streets rising in terraces, a sheltered harbour and safe beaches  - the focus of activity in the summer  when New Quay becomes a bustling and vibrant holiday resort where sailing, fishing, watersports and relaxation, are among the main attractions. 

Many  believe that New Quay is the 'cliff-perched town at the far end of Wales' immortalised by Dylan Thomas  in 'Under Milk Wood'. Dylan Thomas lived  in New Quay in 1944 in a little house called 'Majoda' atop the cliffs opposite the town. The Dylan Thomas Trail in New Quay takes the visitor to many of the places either frequented by Thomas or believed to be mentioned in 'Under Milk Wood'.

With safe sandy beaches, spectacular coastal walks, Cardigan's Bay's famous Dolphins and Grey Seals, and rare birds like the Chough and the Red Kite New Quay offers much for the visitor and resident alike. More about New Quay here
