Conti’s Café at Llanerchaeron
After the long cold winter months, we’re excited to
welcome the return of spring with the re-opening of our
Conti’s Café at Llanerchaeron.
Amidst the budding snowdrops our busy little café sits
next to the Llanerchaeron National Trust Visitor’s Centre at
the edge of the property’s free car park.
We provide a delicious menu laden with locally sourced
produce, all freshly prepared daily by our chefs. We aim to
cater for all, with gluten free and vegan options available.
Our seasonal specials add variety for our frequent visitors
and our selection of locally produced cakes & scones are
just too tempting to refuse after a refreshing walk along the
surrounding woodland & grounds. Not least forgetting our
multi award winning ice cream as a cheeky treat on those
warmer days.
Our barista made coffees using the fantastic & sustainable
focused Extract Coffee Roasters from Bristol, can be made
specifically to your tastes on ordering. The wonderful
Murrough's Welsh Brew Tea provides all our cafés a with
their breakfast & herbal teas, offering a little bit of ‘Hiraeth’-
(home) in every cup.
The Café is a wonderful place to sit and unwind and the
outdoor seating means it's a haven for your dogs too. There
are lovely walks through tranquil woodland, following the
bubbling River Aeron, including one that ends in Aberaeron,
the beautiful Nash designed harbour town. Or, why not try it
the other way 'round? Start in Aberaeron and end at Conti's
cafe, having worked up an appetite.
Our friendly staff look forwards to welcoming in a fresh
new season starting from February 15 th , open 7 days a week
(limited hours until March 14 th ).

UNESCO Nomination For North Wales
Minister for International Relations, Eluned Morgan, has
backed a recent announcement that the Slate Landscape
of Northwest Wales has been put forward as a potential
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If successful, the landscape would become the fourth
world heritage site in Wales, joining the Blaenavon Industrial
Landscape, the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward I
in Gwynedd and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal. In
2016, it was estimated that UNESCO-designated sites in the
UK bring more than £100million into the economy each
year.
The Minister said: “This nomination is a celebration of
the work of the generations of men and women who lived,
worked and shaped our land, and we are connecting with
their legacy through this nomination.
“This is a story that really resonates with local
communities and with visitors - thousands come each year
to experience these spectacular landscapes; to enjoy our
National Slate Museum, ride the Blaenau Ffestiniog and
Talyllyn railways and experience our unique culture, all of
which boost employment and the local economy”.
