Dist:0.3km<br/>The part on the left, with ventilators on the roof, is the former slaughterhouse of 1858-8, designed by R J Withers. It became a theatre in 1985. The larger buildings on the right were built in 2002-4, designed by LAWRAY of Cardiff. The stream is called the Mwldan river. (From The Buildings of Wales - Camarthenshire and Ceredigion)

Dist:0.4km<br/>This appropriately-adorned gravestone in Cardigan cemetery records the death in 1887 of Herbert Davies, captain of the brig Triton. This was the ship that regularly carried local emigrants across the ocean to New York in the mid C19. They included, from Llandysul, the maternal forbears of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Calvinistic Methodist Chapel in Pendre, Cardigan's main street. A plaque gives the original date as 1760, with rebuildings in 1776, 1807, and 1832, as well as renovations in 1864, 1902 and 1986. This constant attention to upkeep may account for what the Pevsner architectural guide calls "the ferociously varied stuccoed front" with huge Gothic rose window, although apparently it was once even more heavily embellished until certain features were removed in 1986.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Up above the estuary lie the remains of townsfolk whose trades and professions are often recorded on their tombstones, although in the case of the chained anchor there are no prizes for guessing that it marks the resting place of one of the many old seadogs buried here. (John Williams, died 1906.)
