Ceredigion, on the west coast of Wales, makes a great holiday destination. Walk the coastal path that covers 60 miles of the Marine Heritage Coast around Cardigan Bay and watch out for historic harbours and award-winning beaches. Inland, there's plenty of scope for walking or cycling through gorgeous landscapes untouched by time, stretching all the way to the Cambrian Mountains, where climbing and mountain biking are favourite pursuits. Cardigan is worth a trip, too, with its busy market, Georgian buildings and 12th-century castle. Here, there's also the Heritage Centre to explore plus Cardigan Island Coastal Farm Park, a great place for seal-spotting. A little further north lies Aberporth, with some excellent beaches for UK beach holidays, and Llangrannog, featuring a ravine and waterfall. At New Quay, once home to Dylan Thomas, you can take boat trips to see bottle-nosed dolphins.

On cheap UK holidays in Ceredigion, you'll want to visit Aberystwyth, with its pier, harbour and period seafront architecture. With a variety of beaches and a Norman castle, it's a good place for families, who'll also enjoy the Aberystwyth Electric Cliff Railway, Britain's longest, which climbs from the promenade to the Victorian camera obscura. Aberystwyth is a lively town, especially during university term-time, and it houses a number of literary treasures at the National Library of Wales, including the 'Black Book of Carmarthen'. There's also the Ceredigion Museum, with excellent historic artefacts, and the Aberystwyth Arts Centre, housing a concert hall and theatre. A trip to Borth on your cheap UK holidays in Ceredigion reveals a golden sandy beach. A ride on the Vale of Rheidol Railway is also a must. It's a narrow-gauge railway that navigates the Rheidol valley and rises over 600 feet to Devil’s Bridge, taking in the Mynach Falls, the Devil’s Punch Bowl and Jacob’s Ladder.
