New Quay is a small Cardigan Bay harbour town with two unlikely claims to fame: a literary legacy, and a resident population of wild dolphins.
The town behind Under Milk Wood
Dylan Thomas lived in New Quay from 1944 to 1945, and the town's streets, pubs and characters are widely considered the model for Llareggub, the fictional setting of his best-known work, Under Milk Wood. Before the stone harbour was built in 1835, the settlement was little more than a scatter of cottages — and, by reputation, a haunt for smugglers landing wine and spirits after dark.
Europe's largest group of resident dolphins
Cardigan Bay, right off New Quay's harbour, holds Europe's largest resident population of bottlenose dolphins, and boat trips run from the town for dolphin-spotting through the summer.
Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
New Quay's story is one of poets and dolphins, not confectionery — so pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases for the town come by delivery, the same as the rest of Ceredigion and the UK.
