Tresaith
Tresaith (otherwise Tre-saith) is a coastal village in the Welsh county of Ceredigion.
It lies between Aberporth and Llangranog, and is linked to the former by a two-mile coastal path, part of the Ceredigion Coast Path. Situated in West Wales, Tresaith is part of the Ceredigion Heritage Coastline which – although not as well known as the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park – offers similar walking and views. There is an abundance of wildlife and flora. Many kinds of seabirds can be spotted and regular sightings of grey seals and dolphins are made.
==History==
Legend relates that a certain king of Ireland had seven troublesome daughters. Failing to exercise control over the princesses he finally lost his patience and told his servants to put his daughters on an open boat and cast them adrift. The Irish Sea currents took the craft towards the coast of Ceredigion where it beached. The seven princesses landed safely, fell in love with the sons of seven local Welsh families, married and settled down. This is why the settlement is called Tresaith (Welsh language the ''Town of Seven'').〔(Ceredigion Tourism )〕
The village is of recent origin. Until the mid 19th century it consisted of two dwellings, a thatched cottage and the Ship Inn. The Parry family who ran the inn were shipowners and their first vessel, the ''New Hope'', was built at on the beach at Tresaith in 1827. Later, several smacks of about 25 tons operated from here, bringing in coal, limestone and culm. In the last few decades of the 19th century the village became popular as a seaside holiday destination and contemporary newspapers referred to it as the ''Second Brighton''.〔Jenkins, J. Geraint.
