Llanon Cottage
In the village of Llanon there are ruins known as Neuadd (hall) which was probably an important Tudor building and nearby is one of the last surviving cottages in west Wales with original straw rope underthatch.
These were left to Ceredigion Museum by Alex Cameron in memory of his wife, Elsbeth, (nee Lloyd), a native of Llanon who also left a plot of land near the cottage for a public park.
- Access for wheelchair users travelling with assistance
- Admission free.
- Open from 2.00pm - 4.00pm Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during August and August Bank Holiday Monday.
- The ruins, park and children's play area are open at all times.
Llanon village lies on the A487 between Aberaeron and Aberystwyth.
It is famous for its association with St Non and St David and for the strip of good agricultural land which borders the sea, particularly between the rivers Clydan and Peris where mediaeval strip fields still survive.
On the coast there is an interesting church with a 13th century tower and early 19th century nave. The beach is pebbly with some sand, and is normally secluded. The geological strata on the cliff have been classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
