Just leaving the diversion where the coastal path takes a detour around the Qinetiq site, and heads back towards the coast proper.

Entrance to MOD/Qinetiq at Parcllyn, Aberporth, off the B4333.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Overlooking an ex-MOD establishment is hardly the best outlook from the front of these houses.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A minor junction of footpaths, one of them the Ceredigion Coastal Path, in the woods east of the farm at Ffrwdenith uchaf

Dist:0.6km<br/>...and off the lead, since the field with the sheep in it was behind us.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Being MOD land to all intents and purposes, the Qinetiq site is a bit twitchy about photography on their premises - so you have to sneak the odd picture when no-one's watching...

Dist:0.7km<br/>The whole square is off limits to most people, and the chances are they won't encourage photography amongst their employees, so this may be the best we can get for some while. Good luck to anyone else who wants to try SN2452...

Dist:0.7km<br/>Much of the Coast Path remained remarkably well-drained after heavy rains but this section inland was seriously muddy - and got worse.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This wooded valley carries the coastal path away from the sea to detour around MoD Aberporth, one of whose masts is visible on the skyline.

Dist:1.0km<br/>The older maps show the footpath deep down in the valley, but for scenic purposes it's much better up here on the clifftop, where the Ceredigion path has been engineered as a tourist route.

Dist:1.1km northeast<br/>Not an easy place to get into - it's rather isolated by the fact that it falls within the DERA site bounds, and only by traversing along the shoreline rocks at low tide was I able to get this close. The shore of the bay is mostly comprised of rocks, similar to those in the foreground, although there are signs of a sandy beach at low tide.
