I admit it doesn’t happen often, but I have at last found something on which I agree with Rhodri Morgan.

In a recent interview on BBC Radio Wales he declared his favourite place in Wales to be the beach at Mwnt. He clearly has very good taste.

Mwnt is at the end of a very long country lane near Cardigan. It basically consists of a headland, a church, a wonderful beach, and some great views over the sea (with less great views inland towards a distant caravan park).

When I took friends of mine to Ceredigion last year to show them where I used to live, one of the places I took them too was Mwnt. The beach is in the middle of nowhere and is beautiful. My friends also appeared to fall in love with it too, despite nearly being blown off the top of the headland.  As Rhodri Morgan points out it is also the home of dolphins as well as seals, as is much of the West Wales coast.

If you are in the area then it is definitely worth visiting.
