About

Aberaeron and Aberarth ward sits along the Cardigan Bay coastline. The area is centred on the planned Georgian harbour town of Aberaeron, known for its distinctive, brightly coloured houses arranged around the inner harbour. The River Aeron meets the sea here, with the settlement of Aberarth located just to the north at the mouth of the River Arth. The landscape is defined by these river valleys and coastal flats.

Economy has historically been tied to the sea, with fishing and small boat building. The harbour remains a functional focus, though tourism is significant. The area is linked by the A487 coast road and is part of the Ceredigion Coast Path. Local architecture is notably uniform in the town centre, a result of its deliberate early 19th-century design by the Rev. Alban Thomas Jones.
