Welcome to Aberaeron |
|||||
|
It is with great pleasure that, on behalf of the people of
Aberaeron, I welcome you. I am obviously slightly biased, as not only is
Aberaeron the most beautiful town in Ceredigion but, due to its central
position, is a wonderful base to visit the country. Our coastline stretches
from the Dyfi estuary in the north to the Teifi estuary at Cardigan in the south. Cardigan Bay is
one of the best places in the UK for spotting bottlenose dolphins; in the
east our spectacular Cambrian Mountains, or lakes and valleys – I could go on
for pages. However, before you start to discover the area, take time to
explore Aberaeron itself. Our harbour and town centre need no introduction
but take a walk on our Town Trails and find our This year Aberaeron is marking two unique
events. On 12 May 1911, the railway line from Lampeter
to Aberaeron – or Aberayron as it was then – was
officially opened. Although it was regrettably closed in 1965, it was felt
that this centenary should be commemorated – read more inside. Secondly, the
Yacht Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary – congratulations to its
committee and members who work tirelessly to ensure its continued survival.
It is impossible to imagine the town without the club and I wish I could be
here to celebrate its centenary! In addition, there are the usual summer
events, breathtaking in range when you consider our comparatively small
population of 1,521. Last autumn I
visited England, from Cornwall to County Durham, and wherever I visited I
tried to find a free town brochure, with no joy. A massive thank
you, therefore, to the Memorial Hall Committee which publishes the annual
brochure and to all the businesses and organisations which support it. I
always keep copies of the invaluable Advertisers’ Telephone
Directory in strategic places at
home and in my handbag. Enjoy! Mair Harrison, Town Mayor 2011/12
