Places to see in ( Borth - UK )
Borth is a coastal village 7 miles north of Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, Mid Wales. It lies on the Ceredigion Coast Path. The population was 1,399 in 2011. Borth has a sandy beach and is a holiday seaside resort. There is a youth hostel in the village and caravan and camping sites nearby.
An ancient submerged forest is visible at low tide along the beach, where stumps of oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel (preserved by the acid anaerobic conditions in the peat) can be seen. Radiocarbon dating suggests these trees died about 1500 BC. This submerged forest is also associated with the legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod.
Cors Fochno, a raised peat mire, part of the Dyfi Biosphere, the only UNESCO Biosphere reserve in Wales, is located next to the village together with the Dyfi National Nature Reserve and visitors' centre at Ynyslas. The long distance footpath the Dyfi Valley Way passes through the village. On 4 April 1876 the entire Uppingham School in Rutland, England, consisting of 300 boys, 30 masters and their families, moved to Borth for a period of 14 months, taking over the disused Cambrian Hotel and a large number of boarding houses, to avoid a typhoid epidemic.
The town's main line railway station is served by the Cambrian Line. The station building houses a museum displaying community and railway historical artifacts and temporary exhibitions run by volunteers. Visit for opening hours. Borth is also the location of the Borth Animalarium and Borth & Ynyslas Golf Club. The Borth inshore lifeboat (ILB) station was established in 1966 and is located at the southern end of the beach.

2019 Dyfi Enduro - Pt 2
The Dyfi is a single stage mass start event in and around the Dyfi forest in Wales. This, the second part, captures some of the riding one can expect from the area. Plenty climbing with fast flowing downhills in between. The trails are black and red graded and very rocky so good tubeless tires are the way to go!
The full route can be found here:

Self Catering Accommodation near Aberystwyth with a Hot Tub | Dolau Hirion
Ideal for group accommodation on the outskirts of Aberystwyth, Dolau Hirion is a detached large property located in the small village of Rhydyfelin, with a private patio area and hot tub at the rear. Just off the main coast road between Aberystwyth and Aberaeron, this is a highly convenient and central base for your holiday on the Mid Wales coast.
The Ystwyth Trail (which follows the old railway line between Aberystwyth and Tregaron) can also be joined from the bottom of your drive and leads directly to Aberystwyth in less than 2 miles. This part of the trail is suitable for all ages and perfect for cycling or walking. From Aberystwyth, you can also join the All Wales Coast Path towards the north or south.
The nearest small supermarket is approx ¾ mile from the property for essentials however Aberystwyth with its bigger shops and amenities is only 2 miles from the property. The best places to eat in the area includes Conrah Hotel (1.5 miles) and in Aberystwyth itself (2 miles), Ultracomida, Baravin, Pysgoty and Gwesty Cymru are all highly recommended. This seaside town also offers a good selection of pubs, cocktail bars and clubs. The Cliff Railway offers amazing views over Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay, whilst the town is also home to Aberystwyth University, the National Library of Wales, the largest Art Centre in Wales, the ruins of Aberystwyth Castle, a traditional cinema and two beaches.
Amongst the other attractions in the area you have Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre with its scenic walks, mountain bike trails and Red Kite feeding Centre. Ynyslas’ RSPB Nature Reserve is also very popular whilst a steam train ride along the Vale of Rheidol Railway from Aberystwyth to Devils Bridge offers a great day out (seasonal timetable). This area is steeped in myths and legends and when you arrive in Devil’s Bridge (Pont-ar-fynach in Welsh), follow the riverside walk to see the three bridges built on top of each other and a magnificent waterfall.
For groups, Colossal Activities can provide anything from golf to mountain bike hire to fishing, children’s parties and kayak hire.

Old College University of Wales Aberystwyth
Go to:
The Old College of the University began as a luxury hotel, built from 1864 in competition with the Queen's Hotel for a promoter of mass tourism and railways to north Cardiganshire, Thomas Savin. Until his bankruptcy in 1866 Savin employed John Pollard Seddon, restorer of Llandaff Cathedral, as his architect; planning and works were both rushed through, the latter at times preceding the former. A hundred-foot dining room was built south of Nash's Castle House and, as its walls were not strong, the bedroom storey above was built in timber frame, with flat roof and conical end tower. To the north of Castle House a massive Gothic pile rose, from two storeys at the Castle House end to an epic six storeys at the north end. This was again to Seddon's design and was again a rushed job, but with lavish public rooms on the American pattern. Something of the intended effect can still be seen in the building, but a view of the magnificent 1871 perspective in the Seddon room inside shows how much was not achieved.
