New Quay, in Ceredigion, not only sounds like its' Cornish counterpart, it's very like a Cornish village itself. You get to it by a long downhill road, which opens out onto a seafront overlooking Cardigan Bay, with a quaint harbour and sandy beach. It's a marvellous place to see dolphins and porpoises.
The harbour was once the home of an important herring fishing fleet, as well as a notorious smuggler's haunt, with a lucrative trade in contraband salt. And, for a while, it was the home of Dylan Thomas, who lived there for a while to escape the war and to write in peace.
