Aberystwyth

Aberystwyth is a vibrant seaside town with a friendly and cosmopolitan vibe that sets it apart from other coastal towns and makes it a great option for a seaside holiday in Wales.

In summer catch sight of the bottlenose dolphins playing in the sea from Castle point. In winter watch the thousands of starlings that gather over the pier. Whatever the weather stroll the prom and kick the bar in the local tradition. Be amazed at the spectacular sunsets at any time of the year. Explore the castle ruins.  Walk or take the train up Constitution hill and admire the panoramic views.  Explore the cliff tops from the coastal path.

Try the real ale at the Glengower. Treat yourselves to a glass of fizz and a delicious dinner on the lawn of Gwesty Cymru.  Sip cocktails at Baravin and treat your taste buds to original artisan pizza. Enjoy live music on a Friday night at Rummers or Sunday afternoons at The Castle Bar. Delight in the authentic tapas at Ultracomida and Casa Miguels. Tour traditional Welsh country pubs such as the Tyn LLidiart or Ffarmers.

See the soaring red kites at feeding time at Nant Yr Arian. Wonder at the Devils Bridge Falls. Take a wander around the antique, boutique and unique shops!

We hope you will enjoy some of the local highlights. We are biased of course as we love Aberystwyth. Its position nestled between hills, beaches and two rivers makes it the ideal base for exploring the rugged coast and lush green countryside. The stunning Elan Valley, Snowdonia and Dyfi Biosphere, are within an hours drive.
