In-Depth Information
Cardigan is an Anglicisation of Ceredigion, 'the place of Ceredig', but the Welsh name,
Aberteifi, refers to its location at the mouth of the River Teifi. In Elizabethan times this
was Wales' second-most important port and, by the 18th century, one of Britain's busiest
seafaring centres. By the late 19th century, however, the railway was displacing sea trans-
port and the river began silting up, relegating the town to an al-together quieter future.
