Introducing Aberystwyth
Thanks to its status as one of the liveliest university towns in Wales, and its excellent range of options for eating out, drinking and taking in some great Welsh culture, Aberystwyth is an essential stop along the Ceredigion coast. It’s a particularly buzzy town during term time and retains a cosmopolitan feel year-round. Alongside these facets of Aberystwyth life, the trappings of a stately Georgian seaside resort remain, with an impressive promenade skirted by a sweep of pastel-coloured buildings. Welsh is widely spoken here and locals are proud of their heritage.

When pub culture and student life get too much for you though, the quintessential Aberystwyth experience remains soaking up the sunset over Cardigan Bay and enjoying a moment’s contemplation from the promenade.
