New Quay  - 'Cei Newydd',  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 - between several of which were 'ropewalks'  for twisting rope in New Quay's heyday as a shipbuilding centre (see: New Quay's history). The 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, water sports and relaxation, are among the main attractions. Click Here to see more photos of New Quay.
