Motygido has been farmed for as long as written
records exist - and probably for much longer than that.
Originally occupying a triangular section of land of some
160 acres between the small rivers 'Mot' and 'Gido', the
land has been split up into three sections with the
farmhouse and barns now surrounded by just nine acres. |
Today Motygido is the home of Rod and Moira Attrill where they
manage the Holiday Accommodation services, West Wales
Cottages and West
Wales Caravans, breed various kinds of poultry ( Click
here to go to our Poultry page ), grow
herbs and perennial plants and provide tourism information for both Ceredigion and the local
New Quay area through the New Quay West Wales website.
As a former Teacher, writer and conservationist, Rod provides
online information on various aspects of local wildlife including
the famous Cardigan Bay Dolphins, the Red Kite, coastal plants and
marine life of the Cardigan Bay coast, while Moira's interests in
genealogy and local history provide the basis for several online articles
about local history.
The earliest records of Motygido go back the sixteenth century.
In the eighteenth century, 'Motygido Academy' run by the Rev John
Pugh was well known throughout Cardiganshire. His notebooks are
now in the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. Please click
