The land owned by the National Trust in Llanerchaeron near Aberaeron, will be the venue for the Urdd National Eisteddfod, Europe's largest youth festival, in 2010,. At the Eisteddfod, visitors will be able to see and hear various different acts throughout the week including singing, recitation, drama, disco dancing, instrumentalists, poetry, pop music, sports, art and craft and much more!
The Urdd National Eisteddfod attracts around 90,000 visitors and 15,000 competitors each year. People from all over Wales and beyond will travel to Llanerchaeron between 31 May and 5 June 2010 to witness the wonderful talent that will be on show each day.
There has been an increase in sightings of Risso’s Dolphins off the Pembrokeshire Coast according to conservationist, who have been monitoring wildlife activity from the bridge of the Stena Line ferry between Fishguard and Rosslare. It’s surprising that Bottlenose Dolphins were only seen occasionally, even though nearby Cardigan Bay is considered to have a population of over 200 animals.
