Aberystwyth – A Stunning Seaside & Heritage Escape

1 Days from just £32.00

Join us for a day discovering charm of Aberystwyth and the Ceredigon coastline. 

Meaning 'mouth of the river Ystwyth', Aberystwyth (or more commonly 'Aber') sits smack bang in the middle of the rugged Ceredigion coastline looking out onto Cardigan Bay. A county town, Aberyswyth has been named Wales first 'City of Literature' by UNESCO due to 'its rich literary scene, universities and national literary institutions' as well as a 'thriving bilingual cultural scene'. Those looking for a cultural escape will enjoy the 13th Century Aberystwyth Castle (built to keep OUT the Welsh), the Arts Centre or the National Library of Wales. 

No trip to Aberystwyth is complete with a stroll down the mile-long promenade, boasting the oldest pier in Wales - Royal Pier - built in 1864. It offers the second best vantage point of Aberystwyth. The best... that's from the world's largest Camera Obscura, which provides a view of more than 1000sq miles in a 360 degree sweep around the town from atop the 430ft Constitution Hill. We've got you covered for the climb - the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway (the longest in Britain) takes you up to the top and offers it's own stunning views. 

Down at ground level, Aberystwyth has a lovely independent shop scene for fashion and accessories, vintage goods, books, arts and crafts and gifts. After all that, you'll be needing a little rest and recuperation. Aberystwyth is a foodie's heaven with an abundance of tastes from near and far. A final stroll around the town will take you as far back as the Middle Ages before heading back to the West Midlands.
