Aberystwyth is a historic market town, administrative centre, and holiday resort within Ceredigion, West Wales, often colloquially known as Aber. Aberystwyth is located near the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol.
Historically part of Cardiganshire, since the late 19th century, Aberystwyth has also been a major Welsh educational centre, with the establishment of a university college there in 1872. Aberystwyth has a pier and a seafront which stretches from Constitution Hill, at the north end of the Promenade, to the mouth of the harbour at the south, taking in two separate beach stretches divided by the castle. Today, it essentially comprises a number of different areas: Aberystwyth town, Llanbadarn Fawr, Waunfawr, Llanbadarn, Trefechan, Penparcau (the most populous).
Aberystwyth is an isolated town, considering the population density of the United Kingdom. The nearest substantial settlements are located at least 1 hour 45 minutes' drive away: Swansea, to the south, is 70 miles (110 km) away; Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, England, to the east, is 75 miles (120 km) away; and Wrexham, to the north-east, is approximately 80 miles (130 km) away. The Welsh capital, Cardiff, is over 100 miles (160 km) away. London is 210 miles (340 km) distant from Aberystwyth.
Aberystwyth is a tourist destination, and forms a cultural link between North Wales and South Wales. Constitution Hill, scaled by the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway, gives access to panoramic views and to other attractions at the summit, including a camera obscura. Scenic Mid Wales landscape within easy reach of the town includes the wilderness of the Cambrian Mountains, whose valleys contain forests and meadows which have changed little in centuries. A convenient way to access the interior is by the preserved narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway. Although the town is relatively modern, there are a number of historic buildings, including the remains of the castle and the Old College of Aberystwyth University nearby. The Old College was originally built and opened in 1865 as a hotel, but after the owner's bankruptcy the shell of the building was sold to the university in 1867.
The new university campus overlooks Aberystwyth from Penglais Hill to the east of the town centre. The station, a terminus of the main railway, was built in 1924 in the typical style of the period, mainly in a mix of Gothic, Classical Revival, and Victorian architecture.

Pen Dinas, Aberystwyth
A collection of pictures and videos taken on the way up to Pen Dinas peak and back down again. Includes pictures of Aberystwyth harbour and castle, the National Library of Wales, the Aber beaches, Constitution Hill, Alexandra Halls, The Royal Pier and some amazing sunsets. Also, there's some good pics and vids of the Napoleonic tower (if you're too lazy to go and see it for yourself!).

Bryngaer Pen Dinas Hill-fort
The Hillfort height is 413 feet, positioned to the south of the town, is easily distinguished by a tall column upon it. This is in the shape of a cannon on end and was erected in commemoration of the Battle of Waterloo by a local landowner who was present as an officer on the field.
Long before the Normans began their castle-building program, Iron Age settlers used the hilltop called Pen Dinas to build a huge hillfort (one of the largest in Wales) which still dominates the skyline as you approach Aberystwyth from the south. Consisting of two adjacent fortified areas, each roughly oval in plan. The fort was excavated some years ago and the yield in the way of finds consisted of fragments of iron implements, spindle whorls, tubular fragments of bronze, a stone bead and a very rare type of glass bead.
