Cardigan Castle
The shored-up and overgrown walls of Cardigan Castle make for a sorry sight. Long neglected by its private owner - a private house was built within the walls in the 19th century - the crumbling castle was purchased by Ceredigion Council in 2003; plans are under way to restore it and open it to the public. It holds an important place in Welsh culture, having been the venue for the first competitive National Eisteddfod, held in 1176 under the aegis of Lord Rhys ap Gruffydd.

Cardigan Heritage Centre
Just across Cardigan Bridge from the town centre, Cardigan Heritage Centre is housed in a restored 18th-century granary on what was once one of the busiest quays in the port. It explores Cardigan's history from pre-Norman times to the present day, with interactive displays for kids and a riverside café.
