The sports shop was so comprehensive with so much choice for a small shop. If you walk to the end of the main shopping street you will come to the river. You can take a trip down the river as a treat
Cardigan is a great example of how a town centre should be. It is definitely worth a trip.
On our way we wanted to stop somewhere for lunch. Nice little town, parking etc. We stopped and normal cars can pay for an hour but for campervan you need to pay for 24h and no overnight stay. WHY do I care ! I wanted to stop for lunch. So no money for parking thieves, and no money for local businesses. Cheers
The car park is equipped with machines that allow payment by card or cash.
The ticket machines however are a massive issue and really need sorting, quickly!
You press a button to "Wake up" the machine, then as you look to see what to do next, and I am talking seconds here, it gets bored and goes back to sleep. I tried to work out what I was needing to do before waking it again but that wasn't obvious. I had to wake the thing three times before I'd got through the, press the green tick for normal vehicle parking for one day and then the flag to have English instructions (Yes, I know, I don't speak Welsh, I would love to, my Great Grandma did but having been brought up in the West Midlands, I don't) Having got to the English instructions it said pay with card or coins. It may have just been the panic setting in but I couldn't see a slot for coins, which was ironic, as the old machine was coins only and we'd been into a shop to get some change!!
So again, within a matter of a few seconds the machine said the transaction was finished, which clearly it wasn't. So we had to go through the whole process again, TWICE.
There are no instructions on what to do but finally we realised that when we got to the pay with card or coins bit, you need to very quickly use the + and - buttons to get the time slot that you wish to purchase, then present your card. It wouldn't Read my card so I had to put it into the machine and enter my PIN number. So much for Contactless then!
No wonder there was such a long queue at the other Machine.
We then went and had a superb lunch sitting on the decking of the Fisherman's Rest, enjoying the river view and the constant queues of frustrated parkers, trying desperately to purchase a parking ticket.
Be warned, at present, you need to be very quick to stop the machine from going back to sleep!!
Clean with lots of spaces there are two-levels and l didn't see any other car park...
