Llandysul
Go for one night only if you kayak or fish the Teifi; otherwise pass through in 2–3 hours on the A484/B4624 between Lampeter and Newcastle Emlyn.
Llandysul is a small Teifi valley town of about 2,700 people, split between Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, with no railway station. Its pull is the river itself — angling and kayaking — plus a wool-museum run and a handful of craft and history stops. Most travellers use it as a half-day pause on a west Wales drive, not a base.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
- Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
- United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
- United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
- United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.

Getting around
No train station. The nearest stations are Aberystwyth and Carmarthen, both reached by road. Buses are limited — Richards Bros runs occasional services to Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn, Saron and Pencader — so a car is the practical way to cover the valley. The town itself is small enough to walk.
