context_page_description: Gwbert, also known as Gwbert-on-Sea, is a small cliff-top coastal hamlet in Y Ferwig community, Ceredigion, Wales. It lies at the most southerly coastal point of Ceredigion, on the eastern shore of the Teifi estuary, from where there are views westwards over Cardigan Bay, and south-westwards to Poppit Sands and the headland of Cemaes Head, in neighbouring Pembrokeshire. It is reached by the B4548 road from the town of Cardigan, 2.8 miles away.
context_section_description: Gwbert has no shop, church or school. The nearest churches are at Y Ferwig, some 1.5 miles (2.4 km) away, both being built before any development at Gwbert. The nearest shops and schools are in Cardigan.
  Gwbert incorporates the adjacent Towyn Burrows (also called Towyn Warren), much of which is now home to Cardigan Golf Club.
  There is a very limited bus service which runs primarily to/from Cardigan. The nearest railway station (Cardigan's station closed in 1963) is at Fishguard, some 20 miles (32 km) away.
  Despite the presence of hotels, and the nearby caravan park and boatyard at Patch, the impact of the tourist industry on the landscape is not great.
