| Ceibwr Bay |
 |
Ceibwr is a good beach for those interested in geology or anyone who likes spectacular scenery. The beach is unsuitable for bathing as it consists mainly of pebbles. The cliffs to the north east display some outstanding examples of rock folding. Atlantic Grey Seals can be seen just offshore. |

The"Clapper" bridge shown here replaced the old concrete bridge which was swept away by the floods of June 1994. The persistent rainfall caused a torrent in Moylegrove washing boulders through the village. Ceibwr received the full force of the flood as this is the mouth of Nant Ceibwr. The fishing boat in the back ground represents what remains of the seafaring industry at Ceibwr Bay. |

The
plant life around Ceibwr and Moylegrove is rich and varied. The high banked
country lanes with wind swept trees are host to an incredible variety of
wild flowers. Natures canvas changes through the seasons, as snowdrops
are followed by primroses,daffodils and swathes of bluebells and red campions.
On slopes exposed to sea spray and the full force of the Atlantic gales, tussocks of thrift show up in many shades of pink. Look out for lichens on the rocks. |

This photograph of a Seal with her pup at Ceibwr was taken by Rory, a pupil at Moylegrove School. It was entered with some of his other photographs in the Craft section of the annual Urdd Eisteddfod. Adders have also been seen at Ceibwr.
