The A475 is a road in west Wales linking the town centres of Lampeter, Ceredigion and Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, a total of 19 miles (31 km).
The A475 leaves Lampeter southwestwards from a junction with the A482 and passes through the hamlet of Pentre-Bach and the village of Llanwnnen, where it is crossed by the B4337 Llanrhystud to Edwinsford road. This section of the road has a number of ascents and descents as it crosses the valleys formed by the tributaries of the River Teifi. It passes through the villages of Drefach, Ceredigion and Cwmsychbant, then is crossed by the B4459 Talgarreg to Pencader, Carmarthenshire road. The road continues to Pren-Gwyn and a junction with the B4476 road to Llandysul. At Horeb the A475 is crossed by the A486 New Quay to Saron road. The road passes through Penrhiwllan, Aber-banc and Llandyfriog, and in Adpar reaches a roundabout junction with the B4571 and B4333 roads. After crossing the River Teifi into Newcastle Emlyn town centre in Carmarthenshire the road ends at a junction with the A484 in Water Street.
The road was laid out as a Turnpike by the Cardiganshire Turnpike Trust, set up in 1770, and a number of milestones can still be seen along it. The turnpike gates were at Lampeter and at Adpar. Both were wrecked during the Rebecca Riots.
