Aberystwyth is a historic coastal town in mid Wales known for its spectacular sunsets and winter storms. It’s a university town and a popular holiday destination. The town has a mile-long Victorian promenade with a sweeping dark sandy beach. It also has a funicular railway and a pier. The Waterstones is located in the centre of town – I haven’t been able to find out the history of the building.
Aberystwyth Cliff Railway
Aberystwyth is home to the longest electric funicular cliff railway in Britain. It opened in 1896, and carries passengers from the base of Constitution Hill to its summit, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the town and the surrounding coast. We were here on a really hot day, so we were happy to find a café at the top serving beer and ice cream!
National Library of Wales / Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru
The National Library of Wales was established in 1907 and is the largest library in Wales – it holds around 6.5 million books and magazines. It’s a beautiful building inside and out, and the North Reading Room is especially attractive. It’s open to visitors, so we popped in to take a look.

Wow at the library, looks very impressive!
Was the funicular expensive to use?

£8 return, but if you’re local and gift aid, it becomes valid for a year. It was worth the money for the views.
