More about this scene
The Teifi begins its journey to the sea 70 miles away; it provided an inland route for the Normans to service the castles of Cardigan and Cilgerran. It becomes very shallow at this broad and sandy estuary, restricting boat movements to a brief period at high tide. However, the sands provide a good place to fish with nets, as we can see in the middle right. In 1938 the shallow-drafted motor vessel the West Coaster was especially built at Cardigan to cross this shallow bar.
