Prettiest town in Wales has colourful harbour - not Portmeirion or Conwy

Aberaeron, in Ceredigion, has been named the prettiest town in Wales, according to reports cited by Wales Online, edging out more commonly debated favorites like Portmeirion, Tenby and Conwy. The town’s charm is credited to its colorful, pastel-painted terraced houses around a small harbour, where yachts bob and seagulls circle. Aberaeron is known for honey ice cream and is positioned as a base for coastal walks and boat trips for dolphin spotting along Cardigan Bay. It’s also a stop on the Wales Coast Path and The Coastal Way. Visitors can enjoy Georgian and Regency-era buildings, seafood dining, and local shops including the Gwisgo Bookworm, while the harbor area is noted for moored vessels and sea views.
