Aberaeron Harbour

Aberaeron's harbour was built between 1807 and 1811 by the Revd. Alban Thomas Jones Gwynne who had ambitious plans for a new town and port. The town's heyday was in the 19th century when, as well as the activity around the harbour, a significant shipbuilding industry was developed. That has long gone, but the legacy of Revd. Gwynne's vision is an attractive town with a thriving tourism industry.
