And with a cliff railway and magnificent castle ruins at either end of the promenade, you’re bound to find something to fascinate the family.

Here are some of our favourite things to do around Aberystwyth:
Climb the Constitution Hill on the seafront for some fantastic views over Cardigan Bay, and make your journey back down on the Cliff Railway which first opened in 1896 powered by a water balance before becoming electric in 1921.
