Dist:0.2km<br/>Situated above the Teifi which is just visible behind. The pub is too far from the river to have any connection with a ferry. Pleasant cooking smells were emanating from it.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the name for the Afon Teifi here as it flows down from Cardigan to the sea a few kilometres further north. "The waterway was the main source of employment for the village of St.Dogmaels. Herring fishing was very important from the Middle Ages to the mid-18th century and continued until 1914, salted herrings being exported to Ireland and Spain. In summer, salmon fishing took place using Seine nets. Circa 1884 there were 21 fishing boats operating. Numbered stones were drawn at the Netpool before each tide to establish the order which the pools were to be fished. There were a number of well-known salmon pools, but because of silting, most have virtually disappeared. There are four licences now available but only one boat actually fishing. It was early in the 20th century that the last Seine fishing boats were built in St. Dogmaels." (This information is taken from MyPembrokeshire.com.)

Dist:0.3km<br/>Marked on the map as Old Castle Road this surfaced road or lane leads to the farm. The footpath has been recently re-routed here too, diverted away from the farm to cross fields instead. I assume because as part of the Ceredigion Coast Path it now gets much more traffic than it used to, which posed an issue for a working farm.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This stone, probably the capstone from a prehistoric burial chamber, was traditionally the spot where the Abbot of St Dogmaels blessed the fishing fleet each year. It lies just a few yards above the river at Netpool. Its alternative name derives from the fact that if you stand on it and shout an echo bounces back from the opposite bank. It was only rediscovered in 1960 and has been given a little alcove of its own in the bank below the Teifi Inn.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Located near the harbour in St Dogmaels is this beautiful wooden sculpture. A note tacked to the sculpture refers to the local Peregrine Legend (dated around 1789) which involved a mermaid rescuing a local seaman. No identification plaque explaining when it was erected or who was the sculptor.
