The Ceredigion coastline provides good sea cliff climbing on hard sandstone rock. The best climbing is found at Ynys Lochtyn and Pen Bills, where there is a good concentration of wall, corner, crack and slab climbing across all grades.

The popular Elan Valley with its huge reservoirs offers a wide range of trad, sport and bouldering venues. The 3 mains crags in this beautiful area are Craig Caban Coch, Craig Cnwch and Creigiau Dolfolau.
