Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Aberporth is a village in Ceredigion on the West Wales coast.

It lies at the southern end of Cardigan Bay about six miles north of Cardigan and ten miles south of New Quay. The main industry was fishing and it still continues at a lower level. In 2006 the main industries are Ministry of Defence work (at the QinetiQ base) and tourism.

Parc Aberporth is located here, and has become a noted centre of excellence in the sectors of defence, aerospace and in particular the developing technology of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Parc Aberporth is linked with the world class research facilities at the nearby University of Wales, Aberystwyth.

The picturesque village overlooks two sandy beaches and is one of Ceredigion's favourite holiday destinations, proving popular with tourists throughout western Europe. Rock pools are exposed at low tides and the cliff top walks along the Ceredigion Coast offer extensive views.

A colour illustrated booklet entitled, "Aberporth, the Story of its Church and Village", by Anne Powell and published by St Cynwyl's Church, Aberporth can be bought from The Hardware Store in the village centre, and the Londis shop in Parc-Llyn for?2.50.

Bottlenose dolphins are seen frequently close to shore. In 2006 orcas and harbour porpoises have also been seen but such sightings are rare. Even rarer was a turtle seen in 2005.

Near Aberporth lies Aberporth Airport (West Wales Airport).
