Cardigan is a typical Welsh market town near the mouth of the river Teifi from which it gets its name. Its history goes back to 1136 when it was the scene of a Welsh victory over the Norman invaders. The town was a major port until the coming of the railways and the Teifi estuary silted up. Cardigan is now a base for fishing and touring holidays.
